Which row in the following table correctly describes what happens in the body after a person consumes a glass of sugary drink?
Correct answer: D. D
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
- D. D
Explanation
When we drink a sugar drink, pancreas release insulin to facilitate glucose uptake by cells for energy production and storage. Simultaneously, the liver converts glycogen to glucose via glycogenolysis, releasing glucose into the bloodstream to maintain blood sugar levels. This coordinated response ensures that excess glucose from the sugar drink is efficiently utilized by cells or stored for later use, helping to regulate blood glucose levels.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
