when glucose levels are high.... - ANSWER-The pancreas releases insulin.
a liver cell responds to insulin by.... - ANSWER-Taking in glucose and converting it to glycogen.
What cells in the body respond to glucagon by breaking down glycogen and releasing glucose? - ANSWER-liver cells
Body cells that respond to insulin include - ANSWER-Liver cells, as well as most other cells
When blood glucose levels are low - ANSWER-The pancreas releases glucagon, which eventually causes blood glucose levels to increase.
sequence of insulin output - ANSWER-1: High glucose levels
2: Pancreas releases insulin
3: insulin binds to receptors on target cells
4: cells take in glucose
5: glucose returns to normal

from one compartment to another. - ANSWER-semipermeable or selectively permeable
A primary active transport process is one in which ___ - ANSWER-molecules move through transport proteins that have been activated by ATP
Some transport processes use transport proteins in the plasma membrane, but do not require ATP. This type of transport is known as ____ - ANSWER-facilitated diffusion
