QUESTION 12 Secretion of insulin increases after a meal in order to maintain blood glucose levels. Which of the following processes is most likely to occur in the liver during the fed state? A. Glycolysis is stimulated B. Gluconeogenesis is stimulated C. Enhanced rate of Cori cycle D. Suppression of lipolysis QUESTION 13 Which of the following processes is least likely to occur during overnight fasting? A. Protein catabolism increases in the liver to increase gluconeogenesis. B. Lipolysis in provide faty acid for beta oxidation in adipose tissue. C. Muscle cells start using more fatty acids instead of glucose. D. The rate of glycogen synthesis increases in the liver to maintain blood glucose levels.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels increase. C.) PFK-2 is inactivated. D.) Glycogen phosphorylase is dephosphorylated. E.) PFK-1 activity is increased. Which of the following statements regarding insulin is FALSE? Choose One A.) Insulin stimulates the liver to store fatty acids as triacylglycerols. B.) Insulin signals the fed state. C.) Insulin works through activating phosphatases. D.) Insulin results in a lowering of the blood glucose levels.

"QUESTION 15 The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose into most of the body's cells: Insulin secretion is controlled by a negative- feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood (stimulus) and the cells that secrete insulin (response): Which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration: An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration still further. A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion; which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration still further. An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion; which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration."
