d) all of these
Explanation glycogenesis: the formation of glycogen from sugar.
Which of the following is/are the effect/s of insulin?
a) increases the use of glucose in cellular respiration
c) inhibits gluconeogenesis and increases the rate of uptake of amino acids in cell
b) promote conversion of excess glucose to fats
d) all of these
Explanation gluconeogenesis means glucose synthesis
Which of the following is/are NOT the role/s of insulin?
a) it promotes glycogenolysis
b) it promotes gluconeogenesis
c) it increases blood glucose level
d) all of these
Explanation Gluconeogenesis is the pathway by which glucose is formed from non-hexose precursors such as glycerol, lactate, pyruvate, and glucogenic amino acids
