Type 1 diabetes - no insulin is produced

Both type 2 and type 1 diabetes - Glucose level remains higher than normal

Explanation:

complete question

statements are

1. target cell do not respond normally to insulin

2. no insulin is produced

3. Glucose level remains higher than normal

Solution

Type 1 and 2 diabetes is different in the following ways  

1. Type 1 diabetes is a type of auto immune disease  in which the causative agent of disease attacks on the cells responsible for defending that disease. Hence, in case of diabetes 1, pancreas is restricted from producing insulin. While in case of diabetes 2, there is enough insulin but body gets resistant to it.  

2. Type 1 diabetes usually occur in children and Type 2 diabetes occur after the age of 40 or in adulthood.

3. Sugar level is high in case of both the diabetets types. In type 1 sugar build because no insulin is produced and in type 2 sugar increases because of bodies getting resistant to insulin.

Hence, the correct match is

Type 2 diabetes  - target cell do not respond normally to insulin

Type 1 diabetes - no insulin is produced

Both type 2 and type 1 diabetes - Glucose level remains higher than normal

An ionic bond occurs when _____.
Svetach [21]
<span>Ions are another name for charged atoms. Some elements are electropositive, and some are electronegative. Electropositive elements such as metals like to give up electrons, thus taking on a positive charge. Electronegative elements such as chlorine attract electrons, so they become negative. When electropositive and electronegative atoms meet and exchange ions, they take on opposite charges. Because positive and negative charges attract, these charged atoms become attracted to one another. This attraction forms an ionic bond that keeps the ions together.</span>
