Question

Which statement is false? A. Glycogen is broken down to release glucose. B. Type 2 diabetics lack functioning beta cells. C. Insulin stimulates receptors in the liver. D. Blood glucose levels must stay in a specific range.

Answer 1

Option B-

Explanation:Option A-True

When the Body have enough Glucose,Some of the Glucose is converted to Glycogen which is stored in the Liver by the process called Glycogenesis.(Glycogenesis is the formation of glycogen from glucose ).But when The Body dont get Enough Gluocse through Diet ,Glyocgen is Broken down to Release Energy(Glucose)By the Process Called Glycogenolysis.(Glycogenolysis is the process by which Glycogen is metabolised in to Glucose)

Option B False-Lack of Functioning Pancreatic Beta cells occur in Type 1 DM,(It occurs when your immune system, destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas-Auto Immune disease)

In Type 2 DM.,Body don't respond to insulin even when Pancreatic Beta cells produce Insulin But later in the disease ,Body often don't make enough insulin also.

Option C-True

In The Liver Insulin Stimulates Receptors in the Liver to Decrease Blood Glucose Level By-

*Promoting glycolysis and glycogenesis in liver

*Reducing hepatic glucose output(Glycogenolysis and glucogenesis).

Option D-True

Blood Glucose should be Maintained inbetween the Normal Ranges of 70-110 mg/dl

When lessthan 90 mm Hg----Hypoglycemia----Causes Tremors,heart racing, nausea, sweating etc

When Greater than 126 mm hg---Hyperglycemia ---Diabete Mellitus---Causes Increased thirst,Headaches,Lack of concentrating,Blurred vision,Frequent micturition,Fatigue etc
