Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 26
Practice objective / multiple choice question 26 from the 2017 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A person has a blood volume of 5 L. When fasting the blood glucose concentration is \(5\) mmol L\(^{-1}\). After a meal it rises to \(9\) mmol L\(^{-1}\). Insulin causes cells to take up glucose at a rate of \(0.8\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) min\(^{-1}\) for each mmol L\(^{-1}\) that the concentration exceeds the normal \(5\) mmol L\(^{-1}\). Assuming no further glucose enters the bloodstream, how many minutes will be required for the blood glucose concentration to return to the normal \(5\) mmol L\(^{-1}\)? Give your answer to two decimal places.
