The answer would be D, but the correct way of phrasing this is ketoacidosis.

Ketoacidosis is a condition or complication of predominantly diabetes type 1 but can also occur with type 2. It is a serious condition that occurs when the body is  produces high levels of  blood acids called ketones.

When the body cannot produce enough insulin, glucose is unable to enter into the body cells. Insulin helps glucose enter into cells. The body then begins to break down fats  as fuel. This process causes a build up of acids  in the blood stream called ketones and they cause a chemical imbalance making the blood to become acidic.

This condition is usually called diabetic ketoacidosis.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? a) A cell will shrink when the concentration of electrolytes is greater inside the c
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) A cell will shrink when the concentration of electrolytes is greater inside the cell than outside the cell. FALSE

Explanation:

The regulation of cell fluid is caused by molecules called as Electrolytes. The higher concentration of these electrolytes outside the cells or lower concentration inside the cells will suck water outside the cells. Water is pumped to the area where the concentration of electrolytes is high. It is also clears from the Option d) that water follows the movement of electrolytes so it means that water will move to out if the concentration of electrolytes outside the cells is high which will cause shrinkage of cell organelles.

When a person is exercising the body needs to deliver increased amounts of oxygen to the muscles. Which componentes f the blood
ad-work [718]

In human blood, there is a compound inside the RBCs called haemoglobin which ensures that the muscle will receive enough oxygen during exercise.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In human blood, the red blood corpuscles contain the haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a iron chelated compound containing porphyrin ring and a globin tail which can establish co-ordinate covalent bond with both oxygen and carbon dioxide. The bonding element depends on the concentration of these two gases. In lungs, where the oxygen concentration is more than carbon dioxide, the haemoglobin bonds with oxygen and brings it to the tissues where carbon dioxide concentration is more. This makes the haemoglobin to release oxygen and bond with carbon dioxide which is brought back to lungs. This is the process by which each and every tissue including the muscles recieve oxygen.

In muscles there is Myoglobin which is another iron-porphyrin compound which has several times more affinity for oxygen than haemoglobin. This helps to extract more oxygen from haemoglobin in muscles.

Both euglena and Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic unicellular organisms found in pond water. The feature that distinguishes eugl
Fed [463]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the presence of the nuclear membrane.  

Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that attain their energy via the process of photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes possessing the tendency to generate oxygen. As a prokaryote, they are devoid of the nuclear membrane.  

Euglena refers to a single cell flagellate eukaryote. It comes under the class Euglenoidea. The species of Euglena are witnessed in salt water and in freshwater. Being a eukaryote, they possess nuclear membrane.
