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.
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?
How would a plumber measure the diameter of a pipe?
They can measure the circumference of the pipe and divide it by pi or 3.14 to get an approximate answer
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.
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
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.
A normal concentration of glucose or sugar in the blood is 95 mgdL. How many grams of sugar would be present per liter of blood?
To convert mg/dL to g/L for glucose, divide the concentration in mg/dL by 100. Therefore, 95 mg/dL is equivalent to 0.95 g/L of glucose in the blood.
Would red blood cells exhibit hemolysis or crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose?
Red blood cells would exhibit crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose. This is because the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of red blood cells, leading to water leaving the cells causing them to shrink and exhibit crenation.
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 would glucose do to the blood sugar level?
It would raise it.
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?
The artificial cell would experience osmosis, causing water to move from the beaker into the cell to balance the concentration of solutes. This influx of water may cause the cell to swell and eventually burst if the cell membrane cannot withstand the pressure.
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.
