How does insulin transport glucose into cells?
Insulin is secreted via the pancreas when blood sugar is above normal, such as after eating a candy bar. The glucose from that candy bar needs to enter your cells to be stored for later. Think of insulin as the key for opening the door to the cell to let glucose in, without it, you couldn't use the energy from food, which is called diabetes. This is a way simplified version of what actually goes on in this cellular response but I hope it helped!

Describe the 3 ways in which hormones can interact?
1. Synergistic effects in which two or more hormones act together to produce an effect that is greater than the sum of their separate effects. 2. Permissive effects in which one hormone enhances the target organ's response to a second hormone that is secreted later. 3. Antagonistic effects in which one hormone opposes the action of another. For example, insulin lowers blood glucose level and glucagon raises it.

Can someone please explain diabetes in much detail?
diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar glucose levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion of action or both. diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes was identified as a disease associated with sweet urine and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. elevated levels of blood glucose hyperglycemia lead to spillage of glucose into urine, hence the term sweet urine. normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. insulin lowers the blood glucose level. when the glucose elevates insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. in patients with diabetes, the absence of insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime. information found at: MediceNet.com
