After school, kai feels hungry and tired. he finds some sugar cookies in the cabinet and finishes the whole package. which statements best describe the role of glucagon and insulin in this scenario? glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high. insulin was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. glucagon was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high. glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. after he ate, insulin from the cookies increased his blood sugar levels. insulin was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. after he ate, glucagon from the cookies increased his blood sugar levels.

The correct answer is the first statement.

Explanation:

In the given case, when Kai was hungry and his level of glucose in the blood was declining, the hormone known as glucagon got secreted by the islets of the pancreas to elevate the levels of sugar in the blood. Glucagon makes the liver to release the stored glucose present within it, which elevates the level of the glucose in the blood.  

However, when Kai consumed the sugar cookies, the blood glucose exceeded the requirement and went high. For this insulin got secreted to monitor the excess amount of glucose from the islets of the pancreas. The insulin helps in absorbing the excess glucose by the cells of the body and thus lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood.  

Thus, both insulin and glucagon get discharged by a similar organ, that is, the islets of pancreas. However, they vary in their function, glucagon enhances the level of glucose in the blood when the body requires it, while insulin assists in absorbing the excess amount of glucose and stores them within the body. Both these hormones help to monitor the level of glucose in the body.  

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
