Question

read the passage to learn about a feedback loop.
the human body uses glucose as its primary source of energy. the appetite causes humans to seek food, which provides glucose to the body. appetite is regulated in part by the hormone neuropeptide y, which is released by a region of the brain called the hypothalamus and causes the feeling of hunger.
if an excessive amount of food has been consumed, the amount of glucose in the body can become too high. when a person eats more food than needed, the bodys fat cells begin to store excess glucose as glycogen and release the hormone leptin. leptin suppresses the hypothalamus from releasing neuropeptide y. this reduces appetite, so the person is prompted to stop eating. after eating stops, the excess glucose remaining in the body gets used or stored as glycogen.
complete the paragraph to summarize how appetite is controlled.
if someone has overeaten, the amount of glucose in the body decreases too much. in response, fat cells release leptin, which leads to a decrease in neuropeptide y. as a result, hunger subsides. without additional food consumption, glucose levels in the body eventually
increase
decrease

Explanation:

According to the passage, when a person overeats, glucose levels rise. Fat cells release leptin, which suppresses the hypothalamus from releasing neuropeptide Y (a decrease in neuropeptide Y). After eating stops, the excess glucose remaining in the body gets used or stored as glycogen. So glucose levels eventually decrease.

Answer:

decrease
