Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Lipids
Concept:

Insulin is the primary anabolic hormone of the body, designed to lock away excess energy when food is abundant.

Solution:

  • When blood glucose is high, insulin first drives the liver and muscles to convert glucose into glycogen.


  • Once glycogen stores are full, insulin forces the liver to convert all remaining excess glucose into fatty acids, which are stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides (lipids).


Why other options are incorrect:

The human body cannot synthesize minerals, and it only synthesizes a few vitamins (not from glucose). Glucose is not converted into cortisone.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
