The first thing that I should do is

1. Administer oral glucose.

2. Contact medical control.

Insulin helps in leveling of sugar from either going high or getting low. It is termed as the body to use glucose from carbohydrates which is got from food.

Sugar is needed by cells in order to have energy where it can not go direct. Insulin is termed as the main key which acts as a lock to unlock the cell so as to allow sugar to be used as energy and enter into the cell.

Assuming this is for an EMT-B course, you would call your medical director for direction and give oral glucose if they are alert enough to control their own airway.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.
