Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon actually increases the use of fats for energy, so choice D is not true. The other choices are true: insulin enables cells to take in glucose, fatty acids and amino acids, while glucagon promotes the conversion of amino acids to carbohydrates and increases the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue for energy.
