Question 1 choices Choice A., The actions of both the beta and alpha cells in the pancreas are stimulated or inhibited by the amount of glucose they detect in the blood as it passes through the pancreas. Choice B., In the pancreas, the action of the beta cells opposes the action of the alpha cells in regulating blood glucose levels. Choice C., High blood glucose levels can result from an overproduction of insulin. Choice D., The pancreas releases glucagon into the blood in response to low blood sugar and releases insulin into the blood in response to high blood sugar.

Answer:

Choice C., High blood glucose levels can result from an overproduction of insulin

Explanation:

Blood sugar levels are regulated by two pancreatic hormones—insulin and glucagon. When blood sugar levels increase, insulin is released (beta cells of the pancreas), it binds to its receptors and consequently increase  glucose uptake by cells, which effectively lowers blood glucose levels. On the other hand, when blood sugar levels decrease, glucagon is released (alpha cells of the pancreas), it binds to its cell receptors, and causes glucose to be released into circulation, thereby increasing blood glucose levels.
