Explain how the hormone insulin controls blood glucose concentration
Insulin is a hormone secreted from the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels (glucose). Insulin causes cells in the liver to convert glucose into glycogen (storage molecule) absorbing glucose out of the blood.This causes a net decrease in the concentration of glucose circulating in the blood around the body and returns it to normal blood sugar levels.
