Why don't people's cells starve from lack of glucose while they are fasting​

Biology
1 answer:
GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago
6 0
Answer:


Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.

If you place a strong acid in water it will likely ionize. If you put the same acid in oil it will not. Why the difference?
denpristay [2]

Answer

An acid that breaks down completely and gives off many ions, or protons, is considered to be a strong acid. ex H₂SO₄

If you place strong acid into water it dissociate acid into H⁺ ions

Water is polar solvent(H⁺ and OH⁻), which has partial positive charge on one side and partial negative charge on the other side.

Strong acids readily dissociate in polar solvents to give H+ ions.

Where as Oil is a non polar solvent it has same charge all over so no dissociation of strong acid will take place.
