Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a meal, the body releases insulin to help transport the glucose from the food into the cells for energy. As Sunil finished his meal a few minutes ago, it's likely that his blood concentration of insulin exceeds that of glucagon. The other answer choices are unlikely because glucagon is typically released when blood sugar levels are low, whereas after a meal, insulin is the dominant hormone.
