Answer:

uncontrolled 1 diabetes mellitus.

Explanation:

Keto bodies elevation of the urine is due to:

1.non availability of glucose in the blood to be used by the cells for biochemical activities,

GLUCOSE can not enter cells because of absence of INSULIN hormone which moderate GLUT TRANSPORTERS 1 and 4 for entry of glucose into cells in induvidual with Type 1 diabetes.

TYPE 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas beta cells refused to secret hormone insulin,therefore affecting the entry of glucose into cells. Leading to elevated blood glucose level,and loss in the urine (Hypoglycemia from polyuria(too much urination.)Because the primary function of insulin is to facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells.

In this induvidual the liver converted excess tryglycerides to glucose in a process called GLUCONEOGENESIS(. The prouction of glucose from non carbohydrate compounds.)

The metabolized lipids leads to build up of byproduct ketone bodies in the blood.This produce ketosis and later progress to Ketoacidosis or metabolic acidosis

timama [110]

A sustainable system refers to producing less or probably non-existent debris that are caused by the production of a particular material (i.e. produce, energy). This is a sustainable form of production of coupling algae growth and fish farming because you no longer need the supply of fish feed from other sources that are made artificially but rather, you are using the available algae growth that you are culturing. Farm fishing alone is non-renewable because this produces much waste that can directly harm the environment.

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution

Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

The cell contains a more concentrated solution than the solution in the container. The difference in concentration would produce an osmotic gradient that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
