Selena wants to protect virgin forests from destruction. She climbs a tree to prevent loggers from cutting the oldest tree in the forest. Selena did not eat for twelve hours until a friend, Jammie, took over the observance. Match the correct levels of blood glucose concentration, blood insulin concentration and relative membrane insulin receptor concentration for a skeletal muscle cell 20 hours into Jammie's fast and one hour after Selena had eaten a peanut butter and banana sandwich and a bowl of sweet potato soup.
Plasma Glucose: 90 mg/dl; 125 mg/dl
Plasma Insulin: 10iuU/ml (70 pmol/L); 40iuU/ml (280 pmol/L)
Relative membrane insulin receptor concentration: increasing (high); decreasing (low)
