Biology

4 0
  <span>  The  first designer baby was created in the U.S. in 2000. Doctors used screening techniques to test the embryos of Lisa and Jack Nash. They chose the embryos that would be an exact cell match to their daughter Molly. Molly suffers from a genetic disorder called Fanconi Anemia which causes bone marrow deficiency. The embryo selected did not carry the disease and was a perfect tissue match. <span>As a result, Adam Nash was born in August after Mrs. Nash underwent four IVF cycles. Stem cells were collected from his umbilical cord to be donated and used to replace Molly's bone marrow. (Baby created to save older sister)Since the creation of Adam, many more couples have created their own designer baby to save their sick child or prevent their offspring from inheriting a certain genetic disease. </span></span>

Gennadij [26K]

I believe the correct answer would be B.  Semipermeable means that it allows certain substances to pass through, and certain other ones to not pass through.  So given all of your options, I would say that B makes the most sense.  Hope this helped!

Based on the information provided, what do you think the most ideal parameters would be for optimal glucose production?
Marysya12 [62]

The most ideal parameters for optimal glucose production are insulin sensitivity SI, glucose effectiveness SG, insulin action p2 and the volume of distribution of glucose V.

<h3>What is used for glucose production?</h3>

Insulin, glucagon, and hepatocyte-derived factors are used in these activities. Gut: Hormones are released in the gut in response to nutrition intake. These hormones affect hunger, stomach emptying, glucose production, and glucose elimination.

After eating, the beta cells release insulin into the bloodstream as your blood glucose levels rise. In order for glucose to enter muscle, fat, and liver cells, insulin works as a key to unlocking those cells. The majority of the cells in your body use glucose, lipids, and amino acids (the components of protein) as fuel.

By converting glycogen into glucose, a process known as glycogenolysis, the liver produces sugar or glucose. Additionally, the liver may produce the sugar or glucose that is required by harvesting amino acids, waste, and fat.
