Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we eat sugary or carbohydrate-rich foods, our blood glucose levels rise. To bring those levels back to normal, our pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin helps our body's cells take in glucose from the blood and use it for energy or store it for later use. In this scenario, since Norman ate sugary frosting, his pancreas would secrete insulin.
