Question

participants were given 15 grams of pure glucose (sugar). a team of endocrinologists monitored the blood sugar and insulin levels of the participants over time. this is a graph of the average blood levels in the participants. question: at what time is there the greatest difference in blood levels of glucose and insulin? 3 hours 0 hours (the start) 1 hour 2 hours

Explanation:

Step1: Find blood - glucose and insulin levels at each time

At 0 hours: Blood glucose level = 90 mg/dL, Insulin level = 70 mg/dL, Difference = |90 - 70|= 20 mg/dL.
At 1 hour: Blood glucose level = 130 mg/dL, Insulin level = 70 mg/dL, Difference = |130 - 70| = 60 mg/dL.
At 2 hours: Blood glucose level = 80 mg/dL, Insulin level = 100 mg/dL, Difference = |80 - 100|= 20 mg/dL.
At 3 hours: Blood glucose level = 80 mg/dL, Insulin level = 60 mg/dL, Difference = |80 - 60| = 20 mg/dL.

Answer:

1 hour
