Excessive drinking of water causes hyponatremia.

Hyponatremia is an elementary medical condition that is caused by drinking excessive water. If the concentration of sodium falls below 136 mEq/L, this results in hyponatremia.

Drinking too much water dilutes the sodium in the human body and this results in a high level of water in the body. When the water level rises, cells become enlarged and swollen.

The swelling cells can have harmful impacts on your health by exerting pressure and damaging cell membranes.

Other common causes include diarrhea, liver disease, renal disease, and heart failure. This condition can be cured by taking an IV sodium fluid to raise the degree of sodium.

What would happen to the pH of the blood if excessive amounts of acetoacetic acid built up, as in a case of untreated diabetes.

harina [27]

Answer and explanation:

If excessive amounts of acetoacetic acid were to build up in the body, the pH of the blood would decrease, because the blood would become more acidic.

Acetoacetic acid is produced because of lipolysis (fat degradation) or because of the breakdown of amino acids. This is a normal biochemical process, but it can lead to serious issues when the levels of acetoacetic acid rise more than they should.

Patients with Diabetes Mellitus have a deficiency in their insulin production. Insulin is the only hormone that can make glucose enter the cells, which is important because glucose (sugar) is processed inside the cells to produce ATP (a molecule high in energy).

Patients with Diabetes can't get the glucose inside their cells, so the blood sugar levels rise in the blood (hyperglycemia). Since the body still needs ATP to function properly, energy requirements are being met via the degradation of fat and amino acids - which generates acetoacetic acid. If this continues, the pH drops and Diabetic Ketoacidosis occurs. This condition is life-threatening.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

In the first step of meiosis I, the chromosomes/genetic material of the cell condenses into a visible form, into a form called heterochromatin. The nucleolus also disappears.

In the second step, a process called synapsis occurs. This is when homologous chromosomes align themselves, gene by gene.

In the third step, crossing over occurs. Segments of corresponding DNA are cut and exchanged between non-sister chromatids of the formed tetrads.

In the fourth step, the nucleus fragments, the nuclear envelope fragments, the two centrosomes (if we're talking about an animal cell) separate from each other as their asters and mitotic spindles (mostly microtubules (kinetochore and non-kinetochore) lengthen. The microtubules extending from the centrosomes can now connect to chromosomes.
