Answer: When blood glucose levels rise beyond the normal level (hyperglycaemia), an insulin injection is needed.

Explanation: This applies to insulin-dependent diabetes, i.e. Type I, where the medical diagnosis is insulin insufficiency. The situation with Type II diabetes is less straightforward.

Insulin is required to enable glucose to be distributed as required, taken up by cells as they need it. Glucose is constantly produced. Without insulin, little glucose is removed from the blood, and the blood glucose concentration rises. The symptoms of this hyperglycaemia include unusual thirst, frequent urination and tiredness. Unless very high levels are reached this may not be severe enough to be noticed, which is why diabetics monitor their blood glucose levels - to avoid those severe episodes. If their blood glucose exceeds normal levels, an insulin injection is needed

What is included in the body’s nonspecific defense against invading pathogens?
Setler [38]

The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:

mechanical barriers and surface secretions                                             

1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.

2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.

3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.

Humoral defence mechanisms

1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.

2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating

3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.

The presence of many c-c and c-h bonds causes fats to be
Crazy boy [7]

The right answer is both of them.

Take the example of fatty acids, it is an aliphatic chain carboxylic acid composed of 4 to 36 carbon molecules. The more carbons (and therefore the CC and CH bonds), the more the fatty acid will be rich in energy since it will give more ATP during its catabolism, and it will also be less and less soluble in water because the carbon chain is hydrphobic.

Which has a higher biotic potential a pumpkin or a peach?
alekssr [168]
Pumpkins vs Peaches.
Firstly, to describe clearly what a biotic potential is it obviously refers to the organismic community in the ecosystem particularly focused on the reproductive capacities of certain species to produce maximum number of seeds or offspring under certain ecological climate changes. In this case, it seems like scientifically pumpkins develop a lot of pumpkin seedlings that turns into vines and grows. On the contrary, peaches only have a few or little seedlings. Making this, the pumpkin has more biotic potential than the peach.
