Quiz about Homeostasis and Diabetes

Question 1

When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels.

Accepted Answer

Negative Feedback Loop

Answer

Positive Feedback Response

Question 2

According to the feedback loop, what does high blood sugar promote?

Accepted Answer

Insulin Release

Answer

Glucagon Release

Answer

Insulin Uptake

Answer

Glycogen Uptake

Question 3

How is homeostasis maintained if blood glucose levels rise?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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