Integration of metabolism between organs occurs primarily through:
A) Allosteric effectors
B) Hormones
C) Induction/repression
D) Covalent modification
E) Substrate supply

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integration of metabolism between organs primarily occurs through hormones. Hormones such as insulin and glucagon play a key role in regulating metabolism by signaling to various organs to adjust their metabolic pathways and respond to changes in nutrient availability in the body.

(E) Substrate supply is important for individual organs but is not the primary method for integration of metabolism between organs. (A) Allosteric effectors and (C) induction/repression play a role in regulating specific enzymes but are not involved in as widespread integration of metabolism between organs. (D) Covalent modification of enzymes can also play a role in metabolic regulation but is not the primary method of integration between organs.
