Answer: diabetes mellitus

Explanation:

This is a disease condition associated with elevated blood glucose levels.

It is due to abnormalities of the Pancreas. The pancreas coordinates two hormones INSULIN AND GLUCAGON in its cells.

INSULIN converts excess sugar to GLYCOGEN while GLUCAGON breaks down GLYCOGEN to sugar when blood glucose/glucose levels drops.

If the pancreas beta-cells of glucose are faulty, INSULIN fails to converts excess glucose to glycogen; therefore glucose builds up in the blood plasma,and failed to enter the needed cells. Large amount of glucose is wasted in urine.This is diabetes Mellitus.

The two types of diabetes are:

Type 1 and Type 2.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>

Which statement best describes an environmental consequence of unsealed landfills? Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that lea
kirill [66]

The correct statement describing environmental consequence of unsealed Landfills is : ( A ) Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that leak into the atmosphere

A landfill is composed of 4 essential components and some are ;

  • bottom linear
  • hydrogeologic component and
  • A cover ( seal )

Given that a landfill constitutes of about 40 to 60 percent of C0₂ the environmental consequence of not providing a proper seal for the landfill will be the leakage of C0₂ into the atmosphere. while

The release of Heavy metals as leach ate into the surrounding can be controlled with the provision of a system in the landfill, materials in landfill undergo decomposition for a long period of time.

Hence we can conclude that Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that leak into the atmosphere.
