In humans, physical exercise results in the breakdown of glycogen in muscle tissue. (a) Name the hormone that is secreted in response to the anticipation of physical exercise. ....................................................................................................................................... (1) (b) This hormone causes the breakdown of glycogen which is stored in the cells of the liver and the muscles. Some scientists think that the effect of the hormone may be greater in the muscles than in the liver. Suggest why this effect would be advantageous to someone who is about to undergo some exercise. ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................

(1) (c) As well as carbohydrates, triglycerides can be respired. The first step is to break down each triglyceride molecule into glycerol and three fatty acids. Each fatty acid is broken down into acetyl CoA molecules. molecules then enter the Krebs cycle.

An investigation was carried out into the effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on urine production in a mammal. The rate of urine production was measured over a period of 30 minutes. Five minutes after measurements began, ADH was injected into a vein of the mammal. The results are shown in the graph below.

Not infected (70–90%)
Infected (10–30%)
