Question

(a) The following account was written by a confused student.

Rewrite the paragraphs with the mistakes corrected:

"Shortly after a heavy meal, glucose is absorbed from the large
intestine, and its concentration in the blood cells goes up.
This rise is detected by the liver, which releases the hormone
insulin into the blood. Insulin makes the pancreas remove the
extra glucose from the blood and store it as starch.
Later on, the concentration of glucose in the blood drops. The
liver breaks down fat so that it goes up again.
