D. Epinephrine.
E. All are catecholamines

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Serotonin is a biogenic amine but not a catecholamine.

Explanation:

Catecholamines are the molecules which have an aminolaterral chain with a chatecol and  an amino group on their structure. Also, catecholamines are derived from an aminoacid called tyrosine. Instead, Serotonin is derived from an aminoacid called tryptophan and its structure does not contain the chemical compounds to be a catecholamine.
