Question

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to increased glucose levels in the blood. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells release of hormones from the receptors intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters high amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas binding of hormones with receptors on the liver

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct order is:

1. High amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas.  
2. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells.
3. Binding of hormones with receptors on the liver.
4. Intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters.
5. Release of hormones from the receptors  

Explanation:

• The pancreas produces two hormones important for the regulation of blood glucose levels.
• The two hormones, glucagon and insulin, increase and decrease the blood sugar respectively.
• Insulin lowers the blood glucose by stimulating the body cells to increase the intake of glucose.
• The brain senses high/low blood glucose, then, sends signals to the pancreas to initiate the synthesis of insulin or glucagon by the beta cells.
• These hormones bind to receptors on body cells; on hepatic cells, in case of insulin.
• The receptors initiate cellular signaling that facilitates intake or exit of glucose in or out of body cells.
