Question

Can anybody help, thank you :)

Answer 1

The correct order is :

1. High amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals towards the pancreas.
2. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells.
3. Binding of hormones with receptor on the liver.
4. Intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters.
5. Release of hormones from the receptor.

Step-by-step explanation:

• When the glucose level in the blood increases beyond normal, it needs to be taken up by the liver, converted to glycogen and stored.
• This occurs by the following steps:

1. Excess glucose in blood signals the pancreatic beta cells to produce and secrete the hormone insulin in the blood.
2. The insulin binds to insulin-specific receptors present on the surface of the liver cells and signals them to express glucose-specific transporters on their surface.
3. The liver cells express glucose-transporters on its membrane and through these transporters excess glucose from the blood is taken up into the liver cells, where it is stored in the form of glycogen.
4. After the glucose level in the blood comes back to normal the insulin gets released from its receptor on the liver cell.
