Answer:

Negative Feedback

Step-by-step explanation:

The production of hormone named insulin directly into the blood reduces the level of glucose in blood.

This is done when the body senses that there is an excess of glucose in the blood. This is a an example of negative feedback, as insulin lowers the level of blood glucose and store sugar away from muscle and fat.

It helps the other tissues of the body to work efficiently with the help of energy in the form of glucose.

Answer:

negative feedback

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin reduces blood sugars when the levels are high in the blood. The hormone is produced by the pancreas and binds on receptors of cells. This initiates cell signaling mechanisms that signal the cell absorb sugars. When the blood sugars get back to normal, insulin production is reduced.
