(I put my thoughts and answers behind each one could you tell meif I'm correct and if my reasoning is correct/explain why)

1. Increasing Calcium Concentration (increase glycogendegradation and decrease synthesis because it activatesphosphorylase kinase)
2. Increasing ATP concentration (Decrease glycogen degradation andincrease glycogen synthesis)
3. Inhibiting adenyl cyclase (Decrease glycogen degradation...idont know why)
4. Increasing Epinephrine (increase glycogen degradation becausemore energy is needed in muscles for \"fight or flight\" response)(act on G coupled receptor)
