The polyuria and polydypsia seen in patients with diabetes mellitus results from which of the following?

Mama L [17]3 years ago

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.

A student designed an experiment to determine if air temperature had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis in corn plants. Whi
Gnom [1K]

The provided question was incomplete as it lacks the options. However, the correct option for this question is as follows:

an electronic balance to measure the volume of soil in which each corn plant is grown

a graduated cylinder to measure 30 mL of water for each plant daily

a metric ruler to determine the mass of each plant each week

a Celsius thermometer to determine the pH of the soil

Answer:

The correct answer is - a graduated cylinder to measure 30 mL of water for each plant daily

Explanation:

The basic knowledge requires to answer this question, as it is not asking about the photosynthesis or temperature of the air but the tool which is correctly matched, so let's get the answer from the options:

the first option is talking about the electric balance and measuring the volume of soil with it, as wee know electric balance measures mass or force on the pan downwards which is the mass of the substance. so it is an incorrect match.

Graduated cylinder to measure the 30 ml water which is correct as this tool measure volume of liquid or substance.

A metric scale measures distance or length of an object, not the mass thus, it is an incorrect match.

A thermometer measures the temperature, not the pH of a substance so it is also an incorrect match.

Compare transitional aqautic ecosystems. Identify two types and describe the environments each type combines
Dennis_Churaev [7]

A transitional aquatic ecosystem is one type among the aquatic systems.

There are two types in it.

  • Estuaries
  • wetlands

Explanation:

  • Estuary is formed when freshwater from the river combines with salt water from the ocean.
  • The estuary is a  home for a variety of species.
  • Algae and marsh grasses are dominant producers.
  • Wetlands are saturated with water and support aquatic plants for their survival.
  • It serves as a living place for a variety of species ranging from reptiles, birds to some mammals
