This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.

If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.

If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.

I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!

Which item is considered hazardous and requires special handling for safe disposal?
gladu [14]
Often times when something is being “cleaned up” it is either broken, not used, or too used / worn down. So, to narrow our options down we can start from top to. bottom.
When throwing away something such as glass, it is usually broken. We also know that glass, when broken is very sharp and can be dangerous. Meaning glass can be a big option for an answer.
Next, when throwing away paper, it is often due to it being used. When we throw it away, we usually crumble it up into a ball. Making it not so dangerous. Meaning paper can’t be an option for an answer.
Now, food scrap, when thrown away it is usually either eaten away from, or rotten. Making this not very dangerous due to food usually not being able to inflict damage to one.
Finally, a battery. When throwing a battery away, we often due so, because it is dead . Meaning it is just the battery, except dead. Meaning a battery is not likely the answer.

Making the answer to be, glass. We know this to be true because when glass is being thrown away, it is usually broken. Allowing the sharp edges to cut you. Making it dangerous, and requiring special handling, and safe disposal.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Hyperglycemia means high blood sugar. The hormone released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar is insulin.

Explanation:

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (high blood glucose), happens when the body does not have enough insulin or when the body does not use insulin properly, so the level of sugar in the blood is higher than it should be. It is especially dangerous for people with diabetes. In this case, it is because you ate too much carbohydrate in your meal, which causes the blood sugar to go up for a few hours. In response to this, high blood sugar, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps break down the ingested glucose (sugar).
