Explanation:

When blood glucose levels increase above set point, the hormone insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, is secreted into the bloodstream. The insulin binds to insulin receptors on cell membranes of liver cells, which results in accelerated conversion of glucose to glycogen, and a slower conversion of glycogen to glucose. This caused blood glucose levels to fall back to normal range again.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Small Fish, Mammal

Phytoplanktons are the small photosynthetic organism that can produce their own feed and so are the producers in this food chain. Zooplanktons are small organisms incapable of producing their own food and eat phytoplanktons. Small fishes consume zooplanktons since due to their small size they are unable to eat bigger organisms. Mammals eat small fishes since they are omnivorer.
