Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activation of glycogen phosphorylase leads to an increase in blood glucose concentrations. This is because glycogen phosphorylase breaks down glycogen (stored glucose) into glucose-1-phosphate, which can then be converted to glucose and released into the bloodstream. The hormone that stimulates the activation of glycogen phosphorylase is glucagon, which is released by the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels. Therefore, the correct answer is D, increase in blood glucose concentrations and stimulated by glucagon.
