O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/O/N/21

Explanation
Evaluating hormone functions in blood glucose regulation
Steps:
- Statement 1: Insulin is produced in the pancreas (correct), but it decreases blood glucose by promoting uptake into cells, not increases it.
- Statement 2: Adrenaline raises blood glucose by stimulating glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis, not lowers it.
- Statement 3: Insulin is correct; it treats diabetes mellitus by replacing deficient hormone to lower elevated blood glucose.
- Conclusion: Only statement 3 is accurate, so option D.
Why D is correct:
- Insulin therapy directly addresses diabetes mellitus by mimicking the hormone's role in reducing hyperglycemia, per endocrine physiology.
Why the others are wrong:
- A includes incorrect statements 1 and 2 on insulin and adrenaline effects.
- B includes both false statements 1 and 2.
- C selects only false statement 2 about adrenaline.
Final answer: D
