The answer is an increase in ketones. High ketones in the blood from diabetes type I causes diabetic ketoacidosis. Due to the insensitivity of cells to insulin (or lack of production of insulin in the body by the pancreas), the cells are unable to take in glucose for metabolisms, hence the body breaks down fatty acids and amino acids for energy. The metabolites of fatty acid metabolism and the deamination of amino acids are ketones (keto acids) that decrease the blood’s pH.

Answer:

The correct answer is: homeostasis.

The example provided in the question is a process performed by many structures in different organs that help regulate the concentration of fluids.

In the tonicity of red blood cells activity, why were you unable to read the lab manual through the tubes containing hypertonic
kap26 [50]
The reason why we were unable to read the lab manual through the tubes containing isotonic and hypertonic solution is  because the cells in those solutions remained intact, causing the solutions to be opaque, in the tonicity of red blood cells activity. The reason why we can't read the lab manual is because the cells in the solutions remained intact.
