E)decreasing glucose breakdown in the cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell will increase the number of membrane glucose transporters to allow more glucose to enter the cell and increase its intracellular glucose concentration. This is achieved through a process called upregulation of glucose transporters in response to high glucose levels.
