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

Biology
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]1 year ago
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.

For plants living in a dry areas, explain a possible conflict between the need to obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and t
ahrayia [7]

Plants living in dry areas face conflict.

EXPLANATION:

  • Since they live in dry areas they will undergo more transpiration.

  • If they open stomata during the day there will be excessive loss of water vapor that will result in their death.

  • Therefore plants living in this area open the stomata during the night to obtain Carbon dioxide.

  • This checks the loss of water through transpiration and provides the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division. What type of cells are created after this?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division so two types of cells are formed. If the cell division occurs in somatic cells then mitosis occurs or if the cell division occurs in sex cells then meiosis occurs. In mitosis, two daughter cells are formed while in meiosis, four daughter cells are produced. In mitosis, each daughter cell has 46 chromosomes while in meiosis each daughter cell has 23 chromosomes.

Each of the following processes is associated with one or more specific eukaryotic organelles. In each case, identify the organe
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Part A It is associated with peroxisomes and mitochondria.

Part B. It is associated with smooth endoplasmatic reticulum.

Explanation:

The oxidation of long chain fatty acids are produced at the beginning in the mitochondria, it is called B oxidation because there is a carbon in this position that in this process is going to be oxidized to a carbonyl group. The very long fatty acid chains are also oxidized in the peroxisomes.

The cholesterol biosynthesis is made inside the hepatic cells, in the endoplasmatic reticulum. Is a process that starts with acetyl Coenzime A that was oxidized in the mitochondria. This process is regulated by the intake of cholesterol from the diet.

Hope this info is useful.
