How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?

1 answer:

6 0

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.

13) Crossing over is important because it creates ___.

Ainat [17]

Crossing over is important because it creates genetic variability.

<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>

It is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes in a tetrad.

Since chromosomal segments contain genes at different loci, the exchange will increase the genetic variability of the new chromosomes.

Thus, the daughter cells carrying the recombined chromosomes will be genetically variable from not just the parent cell, but fellow daughter cells.
