Question

energy in cells
quiz complete
which conversion is controlled by insulin?
glucose to atp
glucose to glycogen
glycogen to glucose
glycogen to lactic acid

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. When blood glucose levels are high (such as after a meal), insulin is released by the pancreas. It promotes the uptake of glucose by cells (especially liver and muscle cells) and stimulates the conversion of glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) for storage. This helps lower blood glucose levels.

• Glucose to ATP is part of cellular respiration (glycolysis, etc.) which is a more general metabolic process not specifically "controlled" by insulin in the context of the question's focus on glucose - glycogen regulation.
• Glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) is stimulated by glucagon (when blood glucose is low), not insulin.
• Glycogen to lactic acid occurs in anaerobic conditions in muscle cells (during intense exercise) and is not related to insulin's main role in glucose - glycogen metabolism.

Answer:

glucose to glycogen
