Insulin depresses blood glucose levels by:
Correct answer: C. Both A and B
- A. Increasing glycogen synthesis
- B. Increasing cell utilization of glucose
- C. Both A and B
- D. Stimulating conversion of glucose into lipids and proteins
Explanation
This is the correct answer. Insulin depresses blood glucose levels through both increasing glycogen synthesis and enhancing the cellular utilization of glucose. By promoting the storage of glucose as glycogen and increasing the consumption of glucose by cells for energy, insulin plays a crucial role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
