Which one of the following statements about the biochemical pathway for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreas is INCORRECT?Question 4Select one:a.Glucose enters the pancreatic beta cell via GLUT2 transporters.b.The endoplasmic reticulum assists exocytosis of insulin from the beta cell.c.Glucose enters the pancreatic beta cell where it is used to fuel glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.d.Opened voltage-gated calcium channels are the only source of Ca2+ that triggers the release of insulin via exocytosis.e.ATP inhibits potassium (K+) channels on the cell membrane.

Which of the following statements is true for pancreas ?Group of answer choicesThe alpha cells of the pancreas secrete insulin.Hypersecretion of insulin causes diabetes mellitus.Insulin causes an increase in the blood sugar level.Glucagon and insulin are antagonists of each other.

Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT? Question 16Select one:a.Insulin stimulates the production of glycogen synthase enzyme, which favours glycogenesis in hepatocytes.b.Peptidase enzymes in the enterocyte cytoplasm degrade absorbed peptides into amino acids.c.Lipid storage ceases during fasting because there are minimal levels of insulin in the blood to synthesise lipoprotein lipase enzymed.The insulin receptor is a tyrosine kinase receptor that is comprised of 4 subunits: 2 membrane-spanning alpha subunits, and 2 insulin-binding beta subunits.e.Glucose enters the liver via the GLUT2 transporter, which is active regardless of the presence of insulin.

All of the following are ways in which glucose can enter the cell EXCEPT: A)Na/K Pump B)Na/H Pump C)GLUT 2 D)facilitated diffusion

Insulin is secreted by the ______ cells of the pancreas and stimulates _______.Question 59Answera.Alpha: catabolismb.Beta: catabolismc.Alpha: anabolismd.Beta: anabolism

Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT about the events that occur when glucose enters a hepatocyteQuestion 14Select one:a.Insulin inhibits lipolysis.b.Glucose enters the hepatocyte through the GLUT2 transporter protein.c.Excess acetyl CoA can enter the lipogenesis pathway.d.Insulin receptor activation inhibits enzymes that allow glucose oxidation through glycolysis and the Kreb’s cycle.e.Glucose is converted into glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), glucose-1-phosphate (G1P), then glycogen because insulin receptor activity activates glucokinase and glycogen synthase enzymes, respectively.
