    “When we eat, the food is BROKEN down into glucose (blood sugar), the body’s main energy source. As blood flows through the pancreas, this organ detects the high levels of glucose and knows to release insulin, a hormone that it produces in order to allow the cells THROUGHOUT the body to use the glucose. The cells have insulin receptors that allow glucose to enter. Then the cell either uses the glucose to make energy right away or STORES it as a future energy source.”

    I will explain the choice of "broken" over the remaining options. First off, there is a passive verb thrown in there as it's food the end receiver of the action taking place in the sentence. What happens to it? It's broken down into smaller bits (glucose mollecules). "Broken" is the past participle of break, henceforth, it's the right choice for the missing form of break in the undescroed gap.

  • Atenção para a voz passiva!

  • Não poderia ser cells in the body?

  • acho importante a tradução para clarear, então fica

    ;

    Quando comemos, o alimento é dividido ( BROKEN down ) em glicose (açúcar no sangue), principal fonte de energia do corpo. Como o sangue flui através do pâncreas, este órgão detecta os níveis elevados de glicose e sabe para libertar insulina, uma hormona que ela produz, a fim de permitir que as células de todo o corpo de utilizar a glicose. As células possuem receptores de insulina que permitem que a glicose a entrar. Em seguida, a célula ou usa a glicose para produzir energia imediatamente ou armazena-lo como uma fonte de energia no futuro ".
