After a meal, a person's blood glucose concentration rises to \(9 \text{ mmol/L}\). Insulin causes glucose uptake by muscle at a rate of \(0.3\,(C_{\text{blood}}-5)\) mmol/L per minute, where \(C_{\text{blood}}\) is the current blood glucose concentration. Simultaneously, glucagon releases glucose into the blood at a constant rate of \(0.1\) mmol/L per minute. Assuming these rates remain constant over each one‑minute interval, calculate the blood glucose concentration after 5 minutes.

Answer Options

A. 6.10 mmol/L
B. 5.50 mmol/L
C. 5.85 mmol/L
Correct Answer D. 5.95 mmol/L
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
5.95 mmol/L
