Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas, which stimulates the liver to take up glucose and synthesize glycogen.

Answer: L
 cAMP acts as a second messenger in many signaling pathways, including those involving insulin and glycogen synthesis. Adenylate cyclase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of cAMP from ATP.

Answer: K
 The islets of Langerhans are clusters of cells in the pancreas that secrete hormones, including insulin, which regulates glucose levels in the blood.

Note: None of the other choices directly relate to the stimulation of liver glycogen synthesis.
