How is the level of cholesterol in the blood stream controlled? Describe and explain how two metabolic defects in humans that could produce an elevated blood cholesterol level. (4 points)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans- two metabolic defect in human that elevated blood cholesterol levels are

1) Hypercholesterolemia

This condition occur when excess cholesterol in blood stream is deposited on the inner walls of blood vessels, pattiparticu the arteries which supply blood to heart . High cholesterol form plaques that narrows and harden artery walls.

2) Hyperlipidemia

It is caused by having too much LDL cholesterol in your blood and not enough HDL cholesterol to clear it up. Although high cholesterol can be inherited, it's more often result of unhealthy lifestyle choices.

The blood glucose concentration is controlled by the liver. It removes glucose from the blood stream and stores it when the blood glucose concentration gets too high and it releases glucose to the blood stream when its concentration gets too low. Unlike HK II, it needs to be able to respond to a range of glucose concentrations. As a result, hexokinase activity in liver has a different concentration dependence profile compared to HK II in muscle—HK IV is NOT a...

The distribution of blood cholesterol level in the population of young men aged 20 to 34 years is close to Normal with standard deviation σ = 45 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). You measure the blood cholesterol of 12 cross-country runners. The mean level is x = 172 mg/dL. Assume that σ is the same as in the general population. How large a sample is needed to cut the margin-of-error in half for a 90% confidence interval of the mean level...

Suppose that in fact, the blood cholesterol level of all men aged 20-34 follows the Normal distribution with mean µ = 186 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation ? = 41 mg/dl. a) Choose an SRS of 100 men from this population. What is the sampling distribution of x?? What is the probability that x takes a value between 183 and 189 mg/dl? This is the probability that x? estimates µ within ± 3 mg/dl. b) Choose an SRS...

Two reservoirs R 1 and R2, the level of each of which is controlled by a detector of high level (a for R1, b for R2) and a low level detector (c for R1, d for R2). When these sensors detect the presence of the liquid they are at level 1. There are three LEDs V1, V2, V3, which operate under the following conditions: V1 = 1 if both tanks are full. V2 = 1 if both tanks are...
