Marquis reagent is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids as well as other compounds. It is composed of a mixture of formaldehyde and concentrated sulfuric acid, which is dripped onto the substance being tested.
Answer:
High TG's signals insulin resistance; that's when the cells (like muscle cells) that normally respond to insulin are resistant to it. This keeps the insulin from allowing the cells to absorb glucose uptake, requiring higher and higher levels of insulin. This results in higher than normal blood sugar levels.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Serious cases of epilepsy may be treated surgically by corpus callosotomy.
Explanation:
Corpus callosotomy is a neurosurgical procedure in the corpus callosum, the nerve bundle in the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres. The procedure means that the nerve bundle is completely or partially cut. Today, surgery is rare and is used as a last resort for difficult-to-treat epilepsy, usually against very severe forms of epilepsy that involve the risk of serious fall injuries or other injuries to the patient. The operation means that communication between the cerebral hemispheres is broken, making it more difficult for the epileptic seizure to spread from one cerebral hemisphere to the other.
