According to Figure 1.10 and the accompanying text, what is the direct response of body cells and liver cells to insulin?

  • A: They secrete more insulin into the blood.
  • B: They take up glucose and store it, lowering blood glucose.
  • C: They stop producing glucose.
  • D: They stimulate the pancreas to reduce insulin secretion.

Explanation

Figure 1.10, step 3, and the accompanying text clearly state that insulin binds to body cells, causing them to take up glucose and liver cells to store glucose. This action directly lowers the blood glucose level.
