Answer the following question given this paragraph: This animation (http://openstaxcollege. org/l/insulin) describe the role of insulin and the pancreas in diabetes. Impaired insulin function can lead to a condition called diabetes mellitus, the main symptoms of which are illustrated in Figure 37.10. This can be caused by low levels of insulin production by the beta cells of the pancreas, or by reduced sensitivity of tissue cells to insulin. This prevents glucose from being absorbed by cells, causing high levels of blood glucose, or hyperglycemia (high sugar). High blood glucose levels make it difficult for the kidneys to recover all the glucose from nascent urine, resulting in glucose being lost in urine. High glucose levels also result in less water being reabsorbed by the kidneys, causing high amounts of urine to be produced; this may result in dehydration. Over time, high blood glucose levels can cause nerve damage to the eyes and peripheral body tissues, as well as damage to the kidneys and cardiovascular system. Oversecretion of insulin can cause hypoglycemia, low blood glucose levels. This causes insufficient glucose availability to cells, often leading to muscle weakness, and can sometimes cause unconsciousness or death if left untreated. Q: Oversecretion of insulin can cause what? Choices: - hyperglycemia - inflammation - hypoxia - hypoglycemia A:
hypoglycemia

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells. There are over 200 different known cancers that afflict humans. Q: Characterized by uncontrolled growth, cancerous cells are also called what? Choices: - abnormal - benign - toxic - malignant A:
(Answer)
malignant
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is known as acidity . In pure water, the concentration of hydronium ions is very low; only about 1 in 10 million water molecules naturally breaks down to form a hydronium ion. As a result, pure water is essentially neutral. Acidity is measured on a scale called pH , as shown in Figure below . Pure water has a pH of 7, so the point of neutrality on the pH scale is 7. Q: The concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is known as what? Choices: - base - akaline - pH value - acidity A:
Ans: acidity
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations. A coefficient is a number placed in front of a chemical symbol or formula. It shows how many atoms or molecules of the substance are involved in the reaction. For example, two molecules of hydrogen would be written as 2H 2 . A coefficient of 1 usually isn't written. Q: What are used to balance chemical equations? Choices: - velocities - densities - fractions - coefficients A:
(A).
coefficients
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: The process by which an organism develops from a single-celled zygote to a multi-cellular organism is complex and well regulated. The regulation occurs through signaling between cells and tissues and responses in the form of differential gene expression. Q: The process by which an organism develops from a single-celled zygote to a multi-cellular organism is complex and well regulated. the regulation occurs through signaling between cells and tissues and responses in the form of what? Choices: - phenotype exchange - spontaneous mutation - dna replication - differential gene expression A:

Ans:differential gene expression
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The order of bases in nucleic acids is highly significant. The bases are like the letters of a four-letter alphabet. These "letters" can be combined to form "words. " Groups of three bases form words of the genetic code . Each code word, called a codon, stands for a different amino acid. A series of many codons spells out the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein ( Figure below ). In short, nucleic acids contain the information needed for cells to make proteins. This information is passed from a body cell to its daughter cells when the cell divides. It is also passed from parents to their offspring when organisms reproduce. Q: Nucleic acids contain the information needed for cells to make what? Choices: - metabolytes - lipids - protons - proteins A:
Ans:
proteins
