Neco Model Questions Vol1 2020 Biology Question 41
Practice objective / multiple choice question 41 from the 2020 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
After a meal the plasma glucose concentration rises from \(5.0\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) to \(9.0\) mmol L\(^{-1}\). Insulin secretion increases proportionally to the excess glucose above \(5.0\) mmol L\(^{-1}\) at a rate of \(2\) µU L\(^{-1}\) per mmol L\(^{-1}\) excess, while glucagon secretion decreases at a rate of \(1\) µU L\(^{-1}\) per mmol L\(^{-1}\) excess. If the baseline insulin and glucagon levels before the meal are \(10\) µU L\(^{-1}\) and \(15\) µU L\(^{-1}\) respectively, calculate the ratio of insulin to glucagon after the meal.
