Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is a hormone that raises blood glucose levels, released when the body needs more glucose for energy, such as during a long period without food. Insulin, on the other hand, lowers blood glucose levels and is released after eating. Since Matt is not eating during his study session, his glucagon levels will rise to increase blood glucose levels for energy, while his insulin levels will drop due to the lack of food intake.
