11. Diabetics are often required to monitor their blood glucose levels to determine

Biology
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]3 years ago
6 0

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

The vector, which is often a small, circular piece of dna that can exist outside the bacterial chromosome, is known as what?.
kramer

The vector, which is often a small, circular piece of dna that can exist outside the bacterial chromosome, is known as a plasmid.

Bacteria and certain other microscopic species contain plasmids, which are tiny circular DNA molecules. Physically distinct from chromosomal DNA, plasmids multiply on their own. They normally contain only a few genes, including some linked to antibiotic resistance, and they can spread from one cell to another.

Recombinant DNA techniques are used by scientists to splice the genes they want to research into a plasmid. The inserted gene is duplicated along with the plasmid when it duplicates itself. Molecular cloning, the process of creating DNA molecules and introducing them into a host cell, uses plasmid vectors as the means of delivering recombinant DNA into the host cell.

To know more about plasmids, refer to the following link:

Describe the impact of human activities on natural resources;
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

As the human population has grown, the need for more land has caused an increase in the cutting down of forest lands for habitation and farming. The result has been an increase in soil erosion, an increase in species extinction from habitat loss, and a reduction of oxygen supplied by the trees, as well as lower amounts of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. Industrial and personal use of fossil fuels has dramatically increased the amount of air pollution in the atmosphere while systematically using up the supply of the non-renewable resources such as coal, oil and natural gas

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete part is asking to identify the variables of the experimental statement i.e. dependent and the independent variables.

Independent variable: different amounts of time light is on

Dependent variable: Number of eggs laid by chicken

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, variables, which are factors that can be altered, are used. These variables are independent and dependent variables.

An independent variable is that variable that is subject to manipulation or control by the experimenter in order to bring about a change in the dependent variable. For this experiment, the independent variable is the DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF TIME LIGHT IS ON.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be dependent if it is the measurable or responding variable. The response of the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the NUMBER OF EGGS LAID BY CHICKENS. The number of eggs laid (dependent variable) is dependent on the amount of time light is on (independent variable).
