CAIE IGCSE Biology EXTENDED 14.4.4 Control of blood glucose concentration
Practise interpreting blood glucose control through pancreas hormones, liver glycogen changes, meal or exercise graphs and percentage change.
How this is tested
- explain graph responses after glucose intake using insulin, pancreas, liver and glycogen
- compare two people’s glucose curves using peak, timing, steepness and return to baseline
- apply glucagon pathways after exercise, from pancreas release to liver glucose output
