1) How do I describe the effect on the release of insulin from the cells when the glucose concentration is inreased above 2.5 mmol/dm3.

Think.. Why is Insulin secreted?

 

In the case that you've already submitted your work:

 

 

I'm not sure about that exact measurement but the pancreas secretes Insulin after the blood-glucose level is below a certain point. The Insulin synthesizes Glycogen by combining molecules of glucose; now the sugars are too large to diffuse into the cells. When the blood-glucose level surpasses a certain point the pancreas secretes Glucagon to break down the Glycogen into Glucose; now the Glucose can diffuse into your cells.
