This molecule is used by both alpha- and beta- cells to monitor the amount of glucose in the blood.

Solution

Explanation:Glucose is an simple sugar,required by the body to function.Glucose is obtained by the body from the food consumed by us and its later observed by the cells.Regulation of glucose is usually done by the hormone insulin whichis produced by beta cells of islets of langerhans of pancreas and in case of low level of glucose in blood alpha cells breaks down the glycogen to glucose.

Enzyme glucose oxidase catalyses the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid,in this reaction aldehyde on carbon1is converted to the D-gluconic acid,at the same time the oxygen in the air acts upon the glucose reducing agent and oxygen in presence of water produces the hydrogen peroxide.
