C.) Third
D.) Second"

Answer 1

Adrenergic receptors are generally linked to second messengers, specifically cAMP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adrenergic receptors are generally linked to second messengers. They are a class of G-protein coupled receptors that bind the catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline. These receptors are specifically activated by these ligands and are linked to Gs proteins, leading to an increase in the intracellular concentration of the second messenger cAMP.
