Answer 1

The correct answer for above statement is:

D. Pancreas , blood sugar

Explanation:

More particularly, it serves to control the metabolism of various food groups by promoting the consumption of blood sugar into various cells. While insulin levels are raised, glucose formation by the liver is reduced, as it suggests there are previously high blood sugar levels from food so no need of more.
