Question

Hormonal Control of Fuel Metabolism The pancreas responds to increases in the concentration of blood glucose by secreting insulin Pancreas Glucagon Adrenal Oo Liver cell Glucagon receptor B-Adrenoreceptor glands B-Adrenoreceptor Muscle cell Epinephrine Epinephrine Glycogen degradation-cAMP -Adrenoreceptor- CAMP Glucose Glycogen synthesis Ca2+ Glycolysis Insulin receptor degradation Glycogen Glucose synthesisOO Insulin GLUT4 Glucose Pancreas Insulin transporter o Insulin receptor Glucose GLUT2 o O Glucose transporter

Explanation / Answer

Insulin control the concentration of glucose in the blood circulation. Pancreas produces the insulin when glucose concentration in the blood become s high it activates the glycogen synthesis pathway in liver and muscle cell or increase the glycolysis.

Glucagon leads to increase the concentration of glucose in the blood opposite to the insulin. Pancreas syntheis the glucagon when blood glucose concentration is very low it binds to liver cells and activates the cAMP pathway to degrade glycogen to glucose to increase the glucose concentration in blood.

Adrenal glands produce epinephrine which activates cAMP in both the muscle and liver cells by beta-adrenoreceptor to make degradation of glycogen in to glucose.

Error - Title is the error. Insulin is secreted by pancreas to decrease the blood glucose concentration level. But here they given increase the blood glucose concentration so that is wrong.
