In addition, they also stimulate the breakdown of lipids and proteins.
Assertion (A): Catecholamines help mobilize glucose during stress conditions. Reason (R): Catecholamines stimulate glycogen synthesis resulting in increased glucose storage in tissues.
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
The Assertion is true - catecholamines do mobilize glucose during stress. However, NCERT states “Catecholamines also stimulate the breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in blood” - the Reason incorrectly states “glycogen synthesis” instead of “breakdown” making it false.
