Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 13
Practice objective / multiple choice question 13 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
The normal fasting blood glucose concentration is \(5.0\) mmol L\(^{-1}\). Under basal conditions the liver releases glucose at a rate of \(0.05\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) min\(^{-1}\) and peripheral muscle uptake removes glucose at \(0.03\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) min\(^{-1}\). After a carbohydrate‑rich meal, insulin secretion increases muscle uptake to \(0.08\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) min\(^{-1}\) and simultaneously reduces hepatic release to \(0.02\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) min\(^{-1}\) for a period of 30 minutes. Assuming no other changes, what is the blood glucose concentration at the end of the 30‑minute period? Give your answer to one decimal place (mmol L\(^{-1}\)).
