Answer:

Is characteristic of Diabetes.

Explanation:

Diabetes is a disorder in which blood sugar increases due to the fact that there is mechanism by which sugar enters the cell is somehow affected.

There are different types of this disorder, the most common ones are the following,

1. Diabetes type 1, is an autoimmune disorder in which the cells that are in charge of producing insulin are destroyed, as a consequence there is not enough insulin (responsible for allowing the glucose channels to open and transport glucose into the cell). Therefore, sugar remains in blood circulation. When glucose levels are too high, it starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

2. Diabetes type 2, is triggered by different factors, there are genetic and environmental factors that trigger this disease. In this case, cells are 'resistant' to the insulin effect, so the body reacts by secreting more insulin. As a consequence, cells in charge of secreting insulin are overworked and at the same time, the body cells keep on increasing the resistance to insulin. There is a point in which this compensation fails to work, and blood sugar rises. When the levels become high, glucose starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

There are more types of diabetes, such as gestational diabetes or LADA. In this cases the cause of the disease varies, but the outcome is the same, increased blood glucose levels and presence of glucose in the urine.

A Typical Human Body Contains About 3.0 Grams Of Potassium Per Kilogram Of Body Mass. 1. ... 1. How much Potassium-40 is present
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10
