Describe the relationship between the pancreas and insulin.
The pancreas stores insulin
The pancreas produces insulin
The pancreas destroys insulin
The pancreas converts insulin to glucose
How does the body use negative feedback loops to regulate blood glucose levels?
By increasing insulin production when glucose is low
By decreasing insulin production when glucose is high
By increasing insulin production when glucose is high
By converting glucose to fat
What happens to blood glucose levels when the body is in between meals?
They increase significantly
They decrease significantly
They remain stable due to glucagon
They remain stable due to insulin
What is a key difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin production
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition
Type 2 diabetes is an autoimmune condition
What occurs in the body of a type 1 diabetic after they consume a carbohydrate-heavy meal?
Blood glucose levels decrease
Blood glucose levels remain stable
Blood glucose levels increase significantly
Insulin production increases
How can healthy eating reduce one's chances of type 2 diabetes?
By increasing insulin resistance
By decreasing blood glucose levels
By increasing blood glucose levels
By decreasing insulin production
What is the primary function of nucleic acids in the body?

Cortisol
What is homeostasis?
The process of building muscle
The maintenance of stable internal conditions
The breakdown of carbohydrates
The production of insulin
How does exercise help in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes?
By increasing blood glucose levels
By improving insulin sensitivity

It converts glucose to fat
It breaks down carbohydrates
What is a common symptom of type 1 diabetes?
Weight gain
Frequent urination

How does weight loss contribute to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes?
By increasing insulin resistance
