Answer 1

1) Increasing the rate of absorption of glucose by cells, skeletal muscle cells
2) Increasing the respiratory rate of cells
3) Increasing the rate of glycogenesis
4) Increasing the rate of glucose to fat conversion
5) Inhibiting the release of glucagon from the alpha cells of the islets of langerhans

Question 2

What are the three ways that glucagon increase blood glucose concentration by?

Answer 2

1) Glycogenolysis
2) Reducing the amount of glucose absorbed by the liver cells
3) Increasing gluconeogenesis
