Question

The hormone glucagon ________. a.stimulates conversion of glucose to glycogen or fat for storage b.raises blood glucose, accelerates transport of glucose into body cells

Answer 1

Raises blood glucose (Ans B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pancreas, alpha cells are present and it produces the hormone known as glucagon. Glucagon helps to control blood glucose levels with the hormone insulin. For controlling the blood sugar level, it acts on the liver in different ways:

1) A process is known as glycogenolysis, in which it promotes the modification of stored glycogen in the liver to glucose, and released into the bloodstream.

2) A process is known as gluconeogenesis, in which it stimulates the generation of glucose from an amino acid.

3) To maintain the blood glucose levels it decreases glucose consumption by the liver so that as much as glucose can be discharged into the bloodstream.
