Which of the following statements is FALSE? Select one: a. Insulin secretion is actually triggered as an anticipation to a rise in blood glucose levels (feed forward) b. Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone that signals cells to utilize stored glycogen and release glucose. c. Glucose is an essential carbohydrate monomer that is highly regulated in the blood and in cells. d. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that promotes catabolic cellular processes to build structures and form glycogen. e. None of these responses are false.

Which of the following statements about glucagon is true? a. Glucagon causes glycogen to break down to form glucose. b. Glucagon secretion is highest following a heavy meal. c. Glucagon promotes the uptake of glucose by liver and muscle cells. d. Glucagon works with cortisol to lower blood glucose levels.
Which of the following statements about the insulin receptor is FALSE? a. Insulin binds to the extracellular region of the receptor b. Once activated, the intracellular part of the insulin receptor transfers phosphate groups (obtained from ATP) to target molecules, such as enzymes involved in the cell's response to insulin c. The insulin receptor is classified as a protein kinase receptor d. The cell's final response to insulin is to release glucose into the bloodstream and raise blood sugar levels.
