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

erica [24]

Answer:

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells are fundamentally different.

Explanation:

A prokaryotic cell is basically an entire organism that works within a single cell. Its genetic material is not in a nucleus.

A eukaryotic cell is part of an organism. This cell has its genetic material in the nucleus. In addition, it possesses organelles.

All cells are not the same because some, like the prokaryotic ones, make up an entire living organism. Others, like the eukaryotic cells, are part of much more complex living forms. Furthermore, each cell type within each category has unique functions.

An efficiency apartment can be compared to a prokariote. Prokariotes have everything they need in one cell. A mansion is more similar to a eukaryote. Every room of the mansion is important for the fully equipped mansion.

A farmer is being troubled by coyotes eating his sheep. in an attempt to solve the problem, he kills a sheep and laces its body

Misha Larkins [42]

The farmer is attempting to apply the principle of conditioned taste aversions to accomplish his objectives. Conditioned taste aversion occurs when an animal associates the taste of a certain food with symptoms caused by a toxic, spoiled, or poisonous substance. Generally, taste aversion is developed after ingestion of food that causes nausea, sickness, or vomiting.Tate aversions is an important principle that help us better understand animals and people tend to form one pairing associations between a certain stimuli, unlike other classical conditioning examples, for it one eats a food and becomes ill, he or she is predisposed to avoid the substance.
