Question

multiple choice question
insulin _________ blood glucose levels.
increases
lowers

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. Its main function is to regulate blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels rise (such as after a meal), the pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by cells (especially muscle, fat, and liver cells). In muscle and fat cells, glucose can be used for energy or stored as glycogen (in liver and muscle) or as fat (in adipose tissue). This uptake of glucose by cells reduces the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, thus lowering blood glucose levels.

Answer:

lowers
