The right option is b. False

Insulin is not the enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates into glucose

Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin helps the body to utilize glucose from carbohydrates for energy or store the glucose for later use. Insulin also helps to maintain the blood sugar level from getting too low (hypoglycemia) or too high (hyperglycemia).
