Blood Sugar Levels and Post-Meal Sleepiness

What is the primary function of homeostasis in living organisms?

• To disrupt cellular processes

• To promote rapid changes in the body

• To increase external fluctuations

• To maintain a stable internal environment

What happens to your blood glucose level after consuming a high-sugar soda?

• It decreases rapidly

• It remains stable

• It rises rapidly

• It fluctuates randomly

Which hormone is secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels?

• Cortisol

• Adrenaline

• Insulin

• Glucagon

What condition is triggered by a rapid increase in blood glucose levels?

• Hypoglycemia

• Hypotension

• Hyperglycemia

• Hypertension

What is the role of glucagon in blood glucose regulation?

• To inhibit insulin production

• To increase blood glucose levels

• To convert glucose to glycogen

• To decrease blood glucose levels

How do complex carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels compared to simple sugars?

• They have no effect

• They cause a slower, more gradual increase

• They cause a rapid spike

• They decrease blood glucose levels

What can be a short-term effect of low blood glucose levels?

• Increased energy

• Lightheadedness

• Improved focus

• Decreased hunger

Which of the following is a long-term problem associated with poor blood glucose regulation?

• Eating complex carbohydrates

• Skipping meals

• Increasing portion sizes

What is a potential benefit of consuming natural sources of complex carbohydrates?
