Solution
The correct option is C insulin
The protein which controls the amount of sugar in the blood is insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas. When protein is ingested insulin is released. It is also released when glucose is present in the blood. After eating carbohydrates, blood glucose levels rise.
Insulin makes it possible for glucose to enter our body's cells - without glucose in our cells, they would not be able to function. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter our cells.
