After some tests, you identify ATP levels are lower than normal but GTP levels are not lower than normal. Which process (es) are likely to be affected by this? Select all that apply. a. activation of G protein-coupled receptorb. activation of adenylyl cyclasec. activation of protein kinase Ad. activation of G protein

The correct answer is Activation of adenylyl cyclase.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is a peripheral membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cyclic Adenosine mono phosphate (cAMP). The conversion ATP to cAMP result in lowering the cellular level of Adenosine tri phosphate or ATP.
