A 50-year-old man became lethargic and drowsy with flushed dry skin after eating a large meal. His family became concerned when

he was difficult to rouse, and he had a fruity odor to his breath. He was transported to an emergency facility, where he gave a history of extreme thirst, hunger, and frequent urination. He recently had an upper-respiratory infection that was slow to clear. Adult-onset diabetes mellitus is suspected.

Answer:

A fasting blood sugar test will be ordered.

Explanation:

A fasting blood sugar test or a glycated hemoglobin test is ordered in such situations. Additionally, tests to determine the insulin level as well as an ophthalmic investigation to determine diabetic retinopathy are ordered. Blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dl is classified as normal. A person is pre-disposed to diabetes if his blood sugar level is between 100-125 mg/dl.

A confirmed case of diabetes mellitus will have a fasting blood sugar level, 126 mg/dl and higher. Insulin administration and a proper management of diet are essential in managing the condition.

<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!

Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.

Active Transport 
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).

Phagocytosis 
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.

Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.

Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>
