Question

question 16 (1 point) after a meal, insulin is the enzyme that helps lower blood glucagon levels. enzyme that helps lower blood epinephrine levels. hormone that helps lower blood glucose levels. hormone that helps lower blood sucrose levels. question 17 (1 point) the three disaccharides that are important in nutrition are: starch, fiber, and glycogen sucrose, maltose, and lactose sucrose, fructose, and glycoge glucose, fructose, and galactose question 18 (1 point) patients with diabetes mellitus should exercise at times when their blood glucose level is between 90 and 110 mg/dl. between 100 and 160 mg/dl. between 100 and 200 mg/dl. less than 250 mg/dl.

Explanation:

• Question 16: Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps cells take in glucose from the blood, thus lowering blood - glucose levels. It is not an enzyme and does not act on glucagon, epinephrine, or sucrose.
• Question 17: Disaccharides are sugars composed of two monosaccharides. Sucrose (glucose + fructose), maltose (glucose + glucose), and lactose (glucose + galactose) are the three important disaccharides in nutrition. Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and glucose, fructose, and galactose are monosaccharides.
• Question 18: Patients with diabetes mellitus should exercise when their blood glucose level is between 100 and 200 mg/dL. Lower levels may lead to hypoglycemia during exercise, and extremely high levels can be dangerous too.

Answer:

• Question 16: hormone that helps lower blood glucose levels.
• Question 17: Sucrose, maltose, and lactose
• Question 18: between 100 and 200 mg/dL.
