Biology
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. The inability to reabsorb all of the glucose filtered from the blood at the level of the kidneys.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome caused by either lack of insulin or decreased sensitivity of insulin receptors. Type I diabetes is due to lack of insulin secretion where as type II diabetes is due to decreased sensitivity of target tissue to the insulin hormone.

Polyuria i.e excess urine secretion and polydypsia i.e increased flluid intake due to increased thirst are the classic symptoms of diabetes. When the glucose level in blood increases, its not completely reabsorbed from the renal tubules in the kidney, the excess glucose thus enters into the filtrate and moves out along with urine.  This normally happens if the blood glucose is as high as 180 mg/100 ml or above. The loss of glucose in urine causes osmotic diuresis. Due to the osmotic effect of glucose in the renal tubules, the tubular reabsorption of water decreases thereby increasing the overall volume of urine. Both extracellular and intracellular dehydration are symptoms of diabetes mellitus.

Lemur [1.5K]

Asteroid impact

Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.

A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.

  • The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
  • The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
  • The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
  • It can cause heating of the earth surface.
  • Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.

Which of the following statements regarding human cells are true? Check all that apply.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

  • Human growth and functioning can be explained by the functioning of the cells.
  • Cells are the fundamental units of humans.
  • The functioning of the cells in the body determine human health.

Explanation:

The cell is the basic unit of life. Therefore the biochemical activities of the cell at a micro-level will definitely influence overall physiology at the macro level of an organism. For example, the production of Thyroid hormone at the molecular level by the cells in the thyroid glands will influence the metabolisms of all cells in a human being and therefore affect the organism’s overall growth and development.
