Why can blood sugar become imbalanced if the pancreas does not produce enough insulin?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Insulin helps control glucose level in blood
The governing concept is endocrine control of blood glucose. The pancreas releases insulin, which helps body cells take up glucose and helps maintain an appropriate glucose concentration in the blood. If insulin production is insufficient, glucose regulation is disturbed and the blood level may rise. Thus option A is correct. The other options incorrectly assign insulin roles in vision, plant growth, or balance of the ear.
