Question

Which of the following hormones promotes the conversion of glucose into glycogen?

• A. Glucagon
• B. Adrenaline
• C. Insulin
• D. Progesterone

Answer 1

The correct option is C Insulin

• Sugar in the human body is present either in the form of glycogen or glucose.
• Glucose is the sugar present within the blood which is utilized by the body to obtain energy.
• Whereas, glycogen is the stored form of sugar present in the liver and muscles.
• When the level of glucose in the blood increases, the insulin produced by the pancreas convert some of the glucose into glycogen.
• When the body requires sugar, a hormone called glucagon is secreted by the pancreas which stimulates the liver to convert some of the stored glycogen into glucose which is released into the bloodstream.
• So, the correct answer is 'Insulin'.
