Answer:

The correct answer is a. The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin and glucagon are two hormones produced by the pancreas, which are essential for life and have an inverse function to each other. Insulin is a hormone of protein origin that has various effects on the transport of metabolites. Glucagon is a complementary hormone in regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood. When glucose levels increase, there is an inhibition in glucagon secretion and an increase in insulin secretion, while when glucose levels decrease, glucagon secretion increases and insulin secretion decreases respectively.
