Hypertension (high blood pressure) has negative effects on health because people with this condition have a higher risk for heart disease and other medical problems than people with normal blood pressure.
If left untreated , hypertension can lead to :
1. heart attack
2. Stroke
3. enlarged heart
4. Kidney damage.
Once the kidneys are damaged, homeostasis in the body is severely impaired because the body no longer has the ability to clear waste products, which when they accumulate tend to poison the body leading to such conditions as uremia.
50-70%. At the age of 1, percentage is around 65%. In adult men, 60% of their bodies is water. 55% of adult women's weight is water due to fat not holding as much water as lean tissue; fat makes up more of women's bodies than men.
Answer:
<u>Red blood cell in humans -</u> it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.
- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.
<u>Root hair cells in plants-</u> they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.
<u>White Blood Cells in humans -</u> they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.

Answer:
<em>The following are the reasons why the Tuli breed would be superior to exotic breeds:
</em>
Tuli breed was augmented in Zimbabwe.
Tuli has a range of colors and has a short coat.
Cross-breeding is suitable for the Tuli breed.
Answer:
1) intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters
2) high amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas
3) binding of hormones with receptors on the liver
4) release of hormones from the receptors
5) synthesis of hormones by beta cells
Explanation:
During ingestion of the meal, insulin is produced in response to high blood glucose levels (concentration of glucose increases after digestion of food). Like other hormones, insulin performed its action through binding specific signals to specific receptors e.g, liver, muscle cells. The high glucose level in the blood send signals through hormones to liver, fat, and muscle cell receptors. These receptors release specific hormones to beta cells of the pancreas. In response to the signals from receptors, beta cells synthesize insulin to minimize glucose levels in the bloodstream.
