Because the cells in the body are in a state of starvation, how does the body compensate to maintain homeostasis

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

The plasma levels of fatty acids and ketone bodies increase in starvation, whereas that of glucose decreases. The metabolic changes on the first day of starvation are like those after an overnight fast. The low blood-sugar level leads to decreased secretion of insulin and increased secretion of glucagon.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.

The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).

The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.

Conversion factors

At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.

A mutation in the sequence of bacterial DNA encoding the ribosome-binding site (RBS) may result in which of the following? A mut
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is "reduced initiation of translation".

Explanation:

The ribosome-binding site (RBS) is the sequence of DNA responsible for the recruitment of a ribosome, which results in the initiation of protein translation. A mutation that specifically occurs in a bacterial RBS may result in a reduced initiation of translation. A mutated RBS would likely fail to recruit the ribosome, which will affect the level of initiation of translation.
