Every time you eat, a _____ feedback mechanism controls the level of sugar in your
blood. The main sugar found in your blood is ______. After you eat something, your
body absorbs the glucose from your bloodstream and deposits it into your blood.
This _____ the concentration of glucose and stimulates your pancreas to release a
chemical called insulin. Insulin is a cellular signaling molecule which tells muscle and
liver cells to uptake glucose. Liver cells store the excess glucose as glycogen, a chain
of glucoses used as a storage product. Muscle cells can store the glucose or use it to
make ATP and contract. As this process happens, glucose concentrations are
depleted in the blood. Glucose was the main signal for the pancreas to produce
insulin. Without it, the pancreas stops producing _____ and the cells stop taking up
glucose. Therefore, glucose levels are maintained in a specific range and the rest of
the body has access to glucose consistently. The ______ feedback mechanism in this
system is seen specifically in how high glucose levels lead to the pathway turning on,
which leads to a product meant to lower the glucose level. When glucose becomes
too low, the pathway shuts off.
