Question
the diagram shows the feedback loop between the pancreas and glucose levels in the blood. which activity is a person most likely doing at event x? a eating a meal b drinking water c exercising heavily d shivering in the cold
When a person eats a meal, the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates (like sugars and starches in food) lead to an increase in blood glucose levels. The pancreas then secretes insulin in response to the elevated glucose. Insulin helps cells take in glucose (removing it from the blood), which in turn brings the blood glucose level back to normal. Drinking water doesn't directly affect blood glucose in this feedback - loop way. Exercising heavily can lower blood glucose (but not in the context of this loop where we start with an increase). Shivering in the cold is related to thermoregulation (heat production) and not directly to blood glucose regulation.
