Glucose

Which of the following foods is most likely to cause a rapid spike in blood glucose levels?

• Whole grains

• Leafy greens

• Sugary snacks

• Lean proteins

What is the role of the liver in the regulation of blood glucose?

• It stores excess glucose as glycogen

• It produces insulin and glucagon

• It filters blood to remove excess water

• It absorbs nutrients like glucose from food

How does the body respond to a decrease in blood glucose levels?

• By releasing insulin

• By releasing glucagon

• By increasing heart rate

• By decreasing metabolism

Which of the following correctly describes the difference between glucose, glycogen, and glucagon?

• Glucose is a hormone, glycogen is stored in the pancreas, and glucagon provides energy.

• Glucose provides cells with energy, glycogen is stored glucose, and glucagon signals glycogen breakdown.

• Glucagon is a sugar, glycogen is a hormone, and glucose is stored in muscles.

• Glycogen signals cells to absorb glucose, and glucagon stores glucose in the muscles.

Which system is responsible for delivering both glucose oxygen to cells and taking carbon dioxide to the lungs?

• Circulatory (Cardiovascular)

• Respiratory

• Nervous

• Muscular

How do glucagon and glycogen relate?

• Glucagon signals the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.

• Glucagon stores excess glucose in the form of glycogen.

• Glycogen increases glucagon levels in the bloodstream.

• Glycogen releases insulin to balance glucagon.

Glucose is...

• A product of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

• A reactant of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

• A product of photosynthesis and a reactant of cellular respiration

• A reactant of photosynthesis and a product of cellular respiration
