Which of the following is an effect of glucagon?

• Buildup of glycogen in skeletal muscle and liver cells, which cannot be used for energy production

• Decreased production of glucose in the liver

• Breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue, which can be released as fatty acids in the bloodstream

How is homeostasis maintained if blood glucose levels rise?

• Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which causes an increased rate of glucose transport into cells

• Beta cells secrete insulin, which causes a decreased rate of glucose transport into cells

• Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which causes a decreased rate of glucose transport into cells

• Beta cells secrete insulin, which causes an increased rate of glucose transport into cells
