Question

what evidence could be used to support the claim that insulin plays a role in homeostasis? * 1 point
a) people with diabetes produce excess insulin and gain energy.
b) insulin increases blood pressure when sugar is too high.
c) insulin allows cells to absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar to normal levels.
d) insulin signals the digestive system to stop making glucose.

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood - glucose levels. It promotes the uptake of glucose by cells, which helps maintain stable blood - sugar levels, a key aspect of homeostasis. People with diabetes have problems with insulin production or function, not excess insulin production. Insulin is not related to increasing blood pressure when sugar is high, nor does it signal the digestive system to stop making glucose.

Answer:

c) Insulin allows cells to absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar to normal levels.
