There can be multiple answers possible for this question.

Given the following four true statements regarding mammary gland cells: 1. They use Glut-1 to transport glucose 2. Lactose is made from glucose plus galactose (which is also made from glucose) 3. Lactose creates osmotic pressure within the golgi 4. Milk is mostly water (50-95%, depending on the species) You'd expect: Insulin resistance to increase milk volume Osmosis of water should increase from the extracellular fluid into the golgi as lactose is produced The mammary gland cells should not increase glucose uptake in response to insulin stimulation Secretion of insulin by the pancreas should have little impact on milk production (volume)

Explanation / Answer

Insulin resistance does not increase the milk volume. The correct option is B. Osmosis increases when more lactose are produced inside the golgi. A decreases in blood glucose during pregnancy does not create any complications and also increases the fetal weight.
