Diabetes and Glucose

Charlotte, Elijah, and Abigail are discussing the impact of molecules on health. Charlotte believes that molecules have no impact on health, Elijah thinks that molecules can make a person feel better or worse, and Abigail thinks that molecules only affect the health of organs. Who is correct?

• Charlotte, who believes that molecules have no impact on health

• Elijah, who thinks that molecules can make a person feel better or worse

• Abigail, who thinks that molecules only affect the health of organs

• None of them, because molecules are too small to impact health

David, Liam, and Samuel are learning about the circulatory system in their biology class. What does the circulatory system do with glucose in a person without diabetes?

• It carries glucose to all the cells in the body

• It converts glucose into insulin

• It eliminates excess glucose from the body

• It prevents glucose from entering the cells

Anika, Maya, and Samuel are studying about diabetes in their biology class. Their teacher explained that when a person with diabetes takes insulin, a certain change occurs in the body. What is that change?

• Glucose levels in the blood decrease

• Glucose levels in the blood increase

• Insulin levels in the blood decrease

• Insulin levels in the blood increase
