The hormone insulin regulates glucose concentration in the blood through metabolic changes. Complete the flowchart below by movi
ng the labels to the correct targets. Note that one of the targets should have three answers. Not all the labels will be used. Flowchart:

Insulin is produced by the pancreas and acts to control blood glucose. When we consume food, it is necessary for glucose to be absorbed by the cells, the glucose molecules that are not absorbed have become loose in the bloodstream, if the amount of insulin in the blood is not at the correct levels, the glucose will accumulate causing problems.
We can summarize how insulin acts in the body with the following flowchart:
Scientists have established that human-based activities have affected and are affecting a rapid change in the earth's climate as they have brought about massive changes in the global carbon cycles and affected the ecological systems.
Earth is has an ever-changing climate and the variation in the orbit of earth results in natural changes such as seasons, which depend on the duration and intensity of the sunlight.
