Q

Blood glucose regulation- too high

A

Pancreas secretes insulin which binds to liver and muscle causing them to take up glucose and convert it into glycagon (stored glucose)

16
Q

Blood glucose regulation- too low

A

Pancreases secrets glucagon which binds to liver and muscle causing glycagon to be converted into glucose

17
Q

Type 1 diabetes

A

Beta cells don’t work so insulin didn’t produced

18
Q

Type 2 diabetes

A

Receptors don’t respond to insulin

19
Q

Type 1 cure

A

Insulin injections

20
Q

Type 2 cure

A

Diet plan and exercise

21
Q

How is diabetes tested for

A

Blood sugar test- high blood sugar= diabetes

22
Q

23
Q

Function of ribosomes in a cell

A

Protein, hormone, enzyme synthesis

24
Q

Effect of too much insulin

A
