Insulin causes
A
a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose
B
a decrease in the permeability of cell membranes to glucose
C
an increase in the production of glucose from glycogen
D
a release of adrenaline into the body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin reduces the body’s blood sugar levels and provides cells with glucose for energy by helping cells absorb glucose. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the body’s blood sugar levels to rise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin helps blood sugar enter the body’s cells so it can be used for energy. Insulin also signals the liver to store blood sugar for later use. Blood sugar enters cells, and levels in the bloodstream decrease, signaling insulin to decrease too.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each of the hormones has distinct functions. Glucagon increases blood glucose levels, whereas insulin decreases them. Somatostatin inhibits both, glucagon and insulin release, 6 whereas PP regulates the exocrine and endocrine secretion activity of the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-4: -When blood glucose concentration becomes low, glycogen is broken down to glucose in the liver and glucose is released into the blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The concentration of glucose in a person’s blood can decrease after a period of exercise or if they have not eaten for a long while. Glucose diffuses out of the blood into muscle cells and is broken down to release energy for muscle contractions.
