During a controlled study, glucose solution is delivered into a volunteer's blood. The blood glucose concentration rises above the normal range, so the pancreas releases more insulin. Researchers then measure changes in the blood plasma and in body cells.
Which change should the researchers predict as a result of the insulin release?
more glycogen moves from body cells into the blood plasma
more glucose moves from the blood plasma into body cells
more glucose moves from body cells into the blood plasma
insulin breaks down more glucose in the blood plasma
