A) Amount of glucose in blood decreases B) Amount of glucose in blood increases
C) Amount of bile juice increases D) Amount of bile juice decreases
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Amount of glucose in blood decreases

Explanation:

We know that, when we eat a meal, any carbohydrates we've eaten are broken down into glucose and passed into the bloodstream. This rise in blood glucose causes insulin to be released from the pancreas so glucose can move inside the cells and be used. As glucose moves inside the cells, the amount of glucose in the bloodstream returns to normal and insulin release slows down.
