Answer:

Glucose in the blood

Explanation:

When we eat and the level of glucose in the blood rises, it stimulates the release of insulin into the blood stream. It makes sense, because insulin is necessary for glucose to enter the cell across the membrane and be used as a source of energy.The problem arises when we eat too many carbohydrates for too long and the glucose level in the blood is constantly too high. After a number of years this causes insulin resistance. In other words, each time an ever greater concentration of insulin is needed to perform its function and eventually this leads to diabetes, when the pancreas just cannot produce any more insulin.

Which of the following is an example of a non-falsifiable hypothesis?
OLEGan [10]

Answer: There is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy.

Explanation: Hello!

To find the correct answer, you need to find a hypothesis that cannot be proven wrong. All but one can indeed be proven wrong. The correct answer is there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy because there is no way anyone can tell if there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy or not. We know that it can be proven wrong because there is no life on Mars, the human species started in Africa and that humans cannot live without a certain amino acid. The only thing that really can’t be proven wrong is the one about a teacup.
