Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas and increases blood sugar by converting glycogen to glucose.

Answer: G
 Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal gland and helps to increase blood sugar levels by stimulating gluconeogenesis.

Note: The hormone epinephrine (A) also increases blood sugar levels, but it is not primarily involved in the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other hormones listed do not play a major role in regulating blood sugar levels through this mechanism.
