The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the metabolic effects of the hormone associated with the fight-or-flight response, we will analyze each of the listed metabolic effects and determine which are influenced by adrenaline (epinephrine). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Fight-or-Flight Response**: - The fight-or-flight response is primarily mediated by the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine), which is released during stressful situations. This hormone prepares the body to either confront or flee from a threat. 2. **Analyzing Each Metabolic Effect**: - **(i) Lipolysis**: - Lipolysis is the breakdown of lipids (fats) into glycerol and free fatty acids. This process provides energy during stress by mobilizing fat stores. - **Conclusion**: This effect is associated with the fight-or-flight response. - **(ii) Glycogenesis**: - Glycogenesis is the process of converting glucose into glycogen for storage. This process is not activated during stress; rather, the body needs to release glucose for immediate energy. - **Conclusion**: This effect is NOT associated with the fight-or-flight response. - **(iii) Increased Blood Glucose**: - During the fight-or-flight response, adrenaline promotes the release of glucose into the bloodstream, increasing blood sugar levels for quick energy. - **Conclusion**: This effect is associated with the fight-or-flight response. - **(iv) Proteolysis**: - Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids. These amino acids can be used for gluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) during stress. - **Conclusion**: This effect is associated with the fight-or-flight response. 3. **Summarizing the Effects**: - The effects associated with the fight-or-flight response are: - Lipolysis (i) - Increased Blood Glucose (iii) - Proteolysis (iv) 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - The correct option that shows the effects of the hormone of fight-or-flight is **1, 3, and 4**. Since glycogenesis is not included, the correct answer would be option **2** (which includes 1, 3, and 4). ### Final Answer: The correct option showing the metabolic effects by the hormone of fight-or-flight is **Option 2 (1, 3, and 4)**.
