What are the key biochemical reactions that lead to the
diabetic condition? What are the two biomolecules involved in
diabetes and how can they be managed through diet?
Select all of the following processes or events that INCREASE
during untreated or poorly managed diabetic ketoacidosis.
options:
1
fatty acid oxidation, gluconeogenesis & ketogenesis in
liver.
2
reliance on fatty acids & proteins as primary fuels
throughout the body.
3
lipolysis & fatty acid release from adipose.
4
plasma & urine [glucose].
5
renal H+ excretion & HCO3-
reabsorption as a compensation for plasma pH imbalance.
6
plasma pH.
7
respiration depth & rate as a compensation for plasma...
Biochemical oxygen demand i.e. BOD) is a measure of the
potential damage that can be done to the dissolved oxygen content
of a body of water by organic waste. A BOD is also the amount of
O2required to degrade or
decompose the wastes. Its name comes from the "demand" that organic
carbon has for O2 through biochemical (enzyme)
oxidation.
BOD – demanded oxygen – can be likened to a debt that must be
paid. Dissolved oxygen (DO) can be thought...
Patients with chronic hypertension are at risk for suffering kidney
damage in our total to reduce their intake of sodium first define
hypertension and explain the connection between hypertension and
sodium intake nicks describe the damage to the nephron that can
result from hypertension and explain how I present you could
influence your urine volume
This is a two part question:
1.
A. Explain the biochemical mechanism by which ketones are
produced in the body?
B. Why doesn't normal urine contain detectable levels of
glucose?
Describe how the kidney is important for osmoregulation in
vertebrates. If you compared a kidney in a desert rodent to a
rodent that lives in a more water-rich environment how might they
differ?
