Which of the following is NOT associated with insulin action?

Enhanced lipolysis in adipose tissue, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

Which one of the following lipid-soluble hormones can interact with a cell surface receptor?

Prostaglandin, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

Epinephrine and glucagon both increase blood glucose by

Both β-adrenergic receptors and glucagon receptors couple to the stimulatory G protein Gs. Activated Gs stimulates adenylyl cyclase, elevating cAMP and activating protein kinase A. PKA phosphorylates enzymes of glycogen metabolism, ultimately raising blood glucose. Insulin opposes these effects by promoting dephosphorylation of the same target proteins, illustrating reciprocal control of carbohydrate homeostasis.

COI1 is receptor for:

That points to C: Jasmonic acid. Compared with the other options, Jasmonic acid is the one that correctly describes the Phytohormone ALL concept. The wrong ones are A) Auxin; B) Gibberellin; D) Ethylene. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Brassinosteroids promote cell elongation mainly by:

Go with B — Enhancing GA response. Under Brassinosteriod, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Increasing ABA; C) Inhibiting auxin; D) Reducing ethylene. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.
