Question
Chapter 24, Problem 45RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether any metabolic pathway can exist without a control mechanism is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
The chemical messengers that pass information from the source part to the target part are called hormones.
A molecule that acts as a bridge between the hormone and target parts is called the second messenger.
The hormones that principally control the carbohydrate
