Question

When the blood glucose level decreases during a fast or between meals, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon signals the liver to stop consuming glucose and to start producing glucose. Select the statements that describe how glucagon activates glucose production in the liver.

Answer 1

Glucagon signals the liver to start producing glucose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucagon signals the liver to start producing glucose from the breakdown of amino acids through gluconeogenesis process. When the glucose level decreases in the body due to fasting or starvation, the pancreas release glucagon which provides signals to the liver to produce glucose form non carbohydrates substances present in our body. This production of glucose increases the concentration of glucose in the blood and the body used this glucose for the generation of energy molecules in the form of ATP.
