Waec Model Questions Vol1 2023 Biology Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2023 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
In a resting adult the basal glucose uptake by tissues is 5 mg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹ and glucose production is 2 mg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹. Insulin increases glucose uptake by 0.8 mg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹ for each unit of insulin present, while glucagon reduces uptake by 0.5 mg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹ for each unit of glucagon. If during a post‑prandial state insulin rises to 3 units and glucagon falls to 1 unit, what is the net change in glucose balance (production minus uptake) in mg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹?
