Lack of which substance causes diabetes in a person?
- AGlycine
- BHaemoglobin
- CHistamine
- DInsulin
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Insulin
Explanation
Diabetes mellitus results from a lack of insulin, or from the body's failure to respond to it. Without insulin, cells cannot take up glucose, so the blood sugar level rises.
Glycine is an amino acid, haemoglobin carries oxygen, and histamine is released in allergic reactions.
