Answer(s): A

The sugars and starches in the human diet are broken down into glucose in the digestive system. This glucose passes from the small intestine into the blood. Human blood glucose levels are regulated by two hormones produced by the Islets of Langerhans in the human pancreas. The hormones are insulin, which lowers the level of blood glucose, and glucagon, which raises it.
Which statement best describes what happens after one eats a meal high in sugar and starches?

The insulin level in the blood increases.
No hormonal changes occur.
The insulin level in the blood remains about the same.
The insulin level in the blood decreases.
The glucagon level in the blood increases.

QUESTION: 25

Earth's atmosphere contains naturally-occurring ozone. Ozone, which contains three oxygen atoms joined together (O3), forms a layer miles above Earth's surface. The layer serves as a shield from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun.
A group of chemicals called CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are used as refrigerants, propellants, and cleaning solvents. At Earth's surface CFCs are chemically stable. However, CFC molecules can be broken apart high in the atmosphere and they can destroy the protective ozone layer.
Based on the information, which action would reduce the destruction of the ozone layer?

Limit the production and use of CFCs.
Use ultraviolet sunscreen more frequently.
Plant more oxygen-producing trees.
Build many ozone-producing plants.
Research ways to convert more ozone into oxygen.
