Waec Model Questions Vol1 2024 Biology Question 40
Practice objective / multiple choice question 40 from the 2024 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
After a meal, a person's blood glucose rises to 9 mmol·L⁻¹. Insulin secretion increases proportionally to the amount by which glucose exceeds 5 mmol·L⁻¹, with a proportionality constant of 0.8 µU·mL⁻¹ per mmol·L⁻¹. Glucagon secretion is suppressed proportionally to the same excess, with a constant of 0.5 µU·mL⁻¹ per mmol·L⁻¹ (i.e., it decreases). Baseline plasma insulin is 5 µU·mL⁻¹ and baseline glucagon is 80 µU·mL⁻¹. Calculate the new plasma concentrations of insulin and glucagon.
