Vedclass · Answer

(D) Insulin is a peptide hormone that regulates blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.It primarily acts on insulin-sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle,cardiac muscle,and adipose tissue by promoting the translocation of $GLUT4$ glucose transporters to the plasma membrane.However,glucose uptake in the intestinal mucosa,brain,and red blood cells is insulin-independent,as these tissues utilize different glucose transporters (such as $GLUT2$ or $GLUT1$) that do not require insulin for their activity.Therefore,the correct answer is intestinal mucosa.
