Question

Lisa eats a banana with her breakfast. As she digests the banana, her blood glucose level increases, which causes the pancreas to produce A few hours later, her blood glucose level decreases, signaling the pancreas to produce .

Blank 1 option: insulin, glucagon, epinephrine

blank 2 option:

Answer 1

There are 2 main hormones regulating blood sugar levels. They are called insulin and glucagon.

When we eat something suggary (like a banana), the consequent rise in blood glucose level causes the pancreas to produce INSULIN (which promotes glucose difusion to the muscles and livre, lowering blood glucose). Later when the blood glucose is consumed for energy production, the blood sugar level decreases signaling the pancreas to produce GLUCAGON (which promotes glucose storage mobilization, rising blood glucose)

Answer 2

Correct answer in blank 1. Insulin.

Correct answer in blank 2. Glucagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Insulin is hormone released by pancreas which lowers the sugar level in blood by changing sugar to other forms.
• Glucagon is a hormone released by pancreas which increase the sugar level in blood.
• As Lisa eats banana blood sugar increase signaling increase of insulin.
• After few hours blood sugar decrease due to insulin, signals glucagon production to increase glucose level.
