How my body maintains homeostasis using insulin?

1 answer:

7 0

When we consume food, our blood sugar levels begin to rise, since the food we eat is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which can be turned into energy. However, glucose cannot be turned into energy until it enters the cells. Insulin is created and released by the pancreas and it allows cells to take in sugar (Glucose) from the blood. This slowly decreases your blood sugar levels back to normal. When your blood sugar levels are too low, your body might signal you to eat something (tummy rumbling etc.) and the process repeats again.

hopefully, this helps. :)

A 3.0% (m/v) potassium chloride solution has a volume of 25.0 mL. How many moles of potassium chloride are in the sample?

Oduvanchick [21]

Using your knowledge of m/v = g/mL, you can start by putting that in the equation as:

$\frac{3g}{100mL}$

And you know that the volume is 25 mL. So you could put this into the equation as:

$\frac{25mL}{1}$

And you also know that the molar mass of KCl is 74.55g (K = 39.1 g/mol and Cl = 35.45 g/mol. Add them together to get 74.55g/mol).

We can then put this in the equation as:

$\frac{1mol}{74.55g}$

Then, we can mulitply them all together:

$\frac{3g}{100mL}* \frac{25mL}{1} * \frac{1mol}{74.55g}=0.01 mol$

And now we know that there are 0.01 moles of KCl in the sample.
