Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of glucose metabolism in which insulin production by the pancreas is impaired. Since insulin helps glucose enter the cells, a decrease of this hormone means that glucose cannot be used in its normal fashion. When this happens, the body begins to break down fats, producing a decrease in blood pH. Chemical systems in the body can balance this pH shift for a while, but excessive acid production can create serious problems if not corrected by administering insulin to restore normal glucose use. Q: What is a disorder of glucose metabolism in which insulin production by the pancreas is impaired? Choices: - cluster mellitus - populations mellitus - sugar mellitus - diabetes mellitus A:
A: diabetes mellitus

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Because of their freely moving electrons, metals are good conductors of electricity. Metals also can be shaped without breaking. They are ductile (can be shaped into wires) and malleable (can be shaped into thin sheets). Metals have these properties because of the nature of their metallic bonds. Q: The nature of what gives metals the properties of being ductile and malleable? Choices: - liquid bonds - magneticism - titanium bonds - metallic bonds A:
A: metallic bonds
