If a person suddenly becomes frightened which hormone helps release more glucose from the liver into the blood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Adrenaline
Fear activates the body’s emergency response. Adrenaline helps the liver convert stored glycogen into glucose and release more glucose into the blood, supplying quick energy to muscles and other organs. Hence option B is correct. Insulin generally promotes glucose uptake and storage, estrogen mainly regulates reproductive functions, and cytokinin is a plant hormone involved in cell division, so none of those fits the situation.
