Glucose molecules from food sources provide energy to the cells of the human body. After a person eats, the level of glucose in their blood increases.

If a person's blood glucose level becomes too high, a hormone in the pancreas, known as insulin, is released. Insulin helps move glucose out of the bloodstream. This causes the blood glucose level to decrease and return to equilibrium.

The production of insulin is a mechanism that regulates the human body's internal environment and aids in
A.
the storage of genetic information within cells.
B.
the production of carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.
C.
the production of sugar molecules through photosynthesis.
D.
the maintenance of homeostasis within the body system.

The answer is D. It is already mentioned in the question that insulin helps lower the blood levels and bring the body to equilibrium. Hence, it helps the body achieve a state of homeostasis.
Homeostasis means “same state”

i would say D because it regulates the sugar leveles in blood . B si not correct because insuline deacreses the glucose levels in the blood so it gets stored in the form of glycogen and doesn t go through glycolisis wich is the cellular respiration and produces co2 only when the glucose is low glucagon gets in action and produces co / by breaking down glucose.
