Total questions: 15

Which of the following is NOT an effect of insulin on its target cells?
The increase of glucose utilization and enhanced ATP production
The deceleration or decrease of glucose update
Stimulation of glycogen formation in the skeletal muscles and liver cells
Stimulation of amino acid absorption and protein synthesis
Which of the following is an effect of glucagon?
Buildup of glycogen in skeletal muscle and liver cells, which cannot be used for energy production
Decreased production of glucose in the liver
Breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue, which can be released as fatty acids in the bloodstream
Maintaining body temperature is an example of a:
negative feedback loop
positive feedback loop
_______ is a part of the endocrine system and the body’s chemical messenger
hormones
blood
glucose
renin
When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels. This is an example of a:
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:
compensating
homeostasis
balancing
routine
What hormone is produced in the pancreas that raises blood sugar?
Insulin
Glucagon
Ketones
Glucose
Homeostasis
allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment
is impossible in vertebrates
is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
The tendency of an organism to maintain a balanced state in order to stay healthy.

Response
Tropism
Homestasis
The ultimate cause of death
Over Heating
Diabetes
Bad Hair
Loss of Homeostasis
What hormone is produced in the pancreas that lowers blood sugar?
insulin
ketones
glucagon
glucose
What is a disease where sufferers cannot control their blood glucose levels?
Diabetes
Influenza
Cholera
Cystic fibrosis
What is another word that can be used to describe "homeostasis"?
STABLE
EQUAL
COMPLETE
CORRECT
Which of the following best describes the role of insulin in maintaining homeostasis in the body?
A) Insulin increases blood glucose levels by promoting glucose release from the liver.
B) Insulin decreases blood glucose levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells.
C) Insulin maintains blood glucose levels by preventing glucose absorption in the intestines.
D) Insulin has no effect on blood glucose levels.
How does the body respond to high blood glucose levels to maintain homeostasis?
A) The pancreas releases glucagon to increase glucose uptake by cells.
B) The liver releases stored glucose to increase blood sugar levels.
C) The pancreas releases insulin to promote glucose uptake by cells.
D) The kidneys excrete excess glucose to lower blood sugar levels.
