Is sugar a stimulant?

Not necessarily. Sugar is not a stimulant by itself, however, it causes the production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone vital to regulating the amount of energy in your body. Therefore, a high insulin level will results in effects mimicking a moderate stimulant. However, this obviously would take a large amount of sugar.


Define and give an example of homeostasis?

Homeostasis is a natural body behavior of maintaining a constant internal environment. An example of this adaptation is sweating to cool the body once one steps into an environment that has high temperature.


Suggest why bacteria are chosen to make human insulin?

The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine


What microorganism produce the human protein that insulin dependent diabetics rely upon to uptake glucose from their bloodstream?

How does carbon dioxide concentration help maintain homeostasis?

The brain monitors the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, and if there is too much the respiratory function is increased.

Sugar in the blood.


Why the increase in insulin secretion in response to parasympathetic stimulation is consistent with the maintenance of homeostasis?

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I do know that insulin levels have to keep up with the amount of sugar in your blood. Your cells can't use the sugar to produce energy without the insulin to help them absorb it. Homeostasis is the chemical reactions in the body, so the insulin must help cells absorb sugar so they can have the chemical reaction that produces energy. Like I said, I'm not the expert, but I hope that helps!

How does blood help maintain homeostasis?

-Controls pH by the amount of CO2 dissolved -Bloodstream is the main system used to transport hormones ie. insulin -Controls body temperature - vasodilation cools blood and brings it back to the system


How do you get help for Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome?

PCOS is connected to insulin resistance. When a person eats a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (which is basically a long chain of glucose molecules hooked together), the body had to work hard to handle the sugar by producing insulin. Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. This effects the glands as they are a communication system on to the other and effects the ovaries. You can read more at www.mcvitamins.com/pcos.htm

Can you eat how many carbohydrates you want while having type 1 diabetes as long as you take the right amount of insulin for it?

as long as you have the right amount of insulin for it you can. i have type 1 diabetes and am also on an insulin pump, which pumps a fast acting insulin in through a small tube every hour or when programed to. it is based on the amount of carbs you intake, not serves. so yes, as long as you have the insulin you can.


What are the units injected by a diabetic?
