What is meant by the term insulin resistance? Blood glucose is high, and the kidneys cannot reabsorb enough glucose, which can b

e detected in the urine. Cells have a decreased response to the normal level of circulating insulin. The pancreas synthesizes insulin normally, but does not release it appropriately. Cells in target tissues lose all ability to respond to insulin. The pancreas does not produce insulin, or it produces insufficient amounts.

Answer:

Cells have a decreased response to the normal level of circulating insulin.

Explanation:

By insulin resistance we mean to say that the cells do not respond to the normal level of insulin which is circulating in the blood. It happens because cells have a a very few insulin receptors on their surface because the pathway which synthesizes insulin receptor is malfunctioned. Such malfunctioned pathway leads to the lack of insulin receptor on cell surface as a result of which even though there is enough insulin the blood yet cells develop a resistance against insulin. Type 2 diabetes is characterized with insulin resistance.

Determine how to make positive and negative ions. Based on your exploration which subatomic particle is positive? Which subatomi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral as a result of having an equal amount of positive (due to the protons) and negative (due to the electrons) charges on it.

An ion generally is an electrically unbalanced atom (i.e an atom with a net charge on it)

A negative ion called an anion is produced when an atom gains an extra electron from a neighboring atom, giving it an extra negative charge. This can be produced by ionization with a radioactive radiation or simply by dissolution.

A positive ion is called a cation and it is produced when an atom loses electron to a neighboring atom. The loss of this electron causes the positive charges to outweigh the negative charges in the atom. Cations can be produced by radioactive radiation ionization of an atom or by simple dissolution.

The subatomic particle that is negative is the 'electron'.
