Question

Based on the information, what is the best explanation for how the negative feedback mechanism works to control the amount of sugar in Andrew’s blood? Group of answer choicesGlucose from the food stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin to regulate blood sugar.The pancreas produces insulin after a meal to decrease the amount of glucose in the blood to maintain homeostasis.The pancreas does not control homeostatic blood glucose levels by secreting insulin.Insulin production increases hunger which causes the blood glucose levels to elevate to maintain homeostasis.

Answer 1

The best option is the second one.

The pancreas produces insulin after a meal to decrease the amount of glucose in the blood to maintain homeostasis.

In this type of negative feedback, the insulin plays the control center. It secretes insulin into the blood that lowers blood sugar levels.
