If a definition of intoxication is an alcohol concentration of 0 point 5 percent by volume in the blood how much alcohol would be present in the average 155lb mans 6300mL of blood an intoxicated man?
6300ml x 0.5% = 6300ml x 0.005 = 31.5 ml
When would you use estimation to answer a question?
When a quick and approximate answer will suffice.
What percentage is 10 out of 34?
An approximate value would be 30 percent.
What kind of mathematical relationship exists between conductivity and concentration?
The initial concentration affects the conductivity of a solution in a sense that the greater the initial concentration,the greater the conductivity.increase in concentration means presence of more free moving ions in the solution.but this can only occur in the initial concentration because,after the initial concentration,an increase in concentration will mean that there are now more ions present in the solution but the same volume,hence the ions wouldn't be able to move freely an in the initial concentration,hence the conductivity would then decrease since they can't move freely now.
Why is it important that the measurement should be precise and accurate?
Because important decisions are often made on the basis of measurements. Would you like your doctor to diagnose your illness on the basis of a very rough measure of you pulse / blood pressure / etc. Would you like your builder to build a house on approximate vertical angles? Or your car to be designed on rough calculations?
What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
Are blood glucose levels regulated by positive feedback?
No, blood glucose concentration is regulated by negative feedback. When blood sugar levels are too high, the alpha particles in the pancreas' islets of Langerhans signal the pancreas to produce more insulin, which regulates the sugar level by stimulating the liver and other body cells to absorb more glucose at convert it into either glycogen or fat. This lowers the blood sugar concentration. If it were positive feedback, high blood sugar levels would encourage the production of more glucose to increase the blood sugar concentration.
What systemic blood vessel would you expect to have a high glucose content immediately after eating?
The blood vessel that contains the most glucose after eating is the hepatic portal vein. High concentration of glucose to low Hepatic portal vein > hepatic vein > mesenteric artery -Ruffles
What would glucose do to the blood sugar level?
It would raise it.
Where can one buy blood glucose meters?
A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) by people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dl or mmol/l.
What are healthy blood glucose levels?
Well, a healthy level of blood glucose wouldn't be too high or too low. Instead, it would be in the middle between high and low. Unhealthy levels of blood glucose would be an extremely high number.
Should you take glucose tablets if your blood sugar is high?
No. Glucose is a type of sugar and should not be taken if blood sugar is too high. This would only serve the increase blood glucose levels.
What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
Which systemic blood vessels would expect to have high glucose content immediately after eating?
The blood vessel you would expect a high glucose content in after eating is the portal system.
How would the movement of CO2 be affected if the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was equal or higher than the concentration in the blood?
If the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was higher or equal the concentration in the blood, there will be no diffusion of CO2 in the air of the lungs. The person will suffocate in this situation.
A person is fasting blood glucose level of 101 mg dL would be classified?
A person with fasting blood glucose level of 101 mg/dL would be classified as normal.
What effect would elevated cortisol levels have on blood glucose levels?
One function of cortisol is to decrease the cellular use of glucose while increasing both the available glucose (by promoting the brakedown of glycogen) and the conversion of amino acids to carbohydrates. Therefore, the net result of elevated cortisol levels would be an elevation of blood glucose.
