Question

Glucose is a form of sugar found in the blood. Cells use glucose as a source of energy, but too much or too little can cause serious health issues. So, the body uses the hormone insulin to regulate glucose in the blood. Insulin helps maintain glucose levels in the blood. If blood glucose levels got very high, what would you expect to see happen to insulin levels?(1 point)

Answer 1

Insulin levels would increase.

Reason: High blood glucose stimulates the pancreas (beta cells) to secrete more insulin, which promotes glucose uptake by cells and lowers blood glucose.
