Acute complications of Diabetes are severe and can lead to coma. They are directly related to blood glucose levels and include: Diabetic ketoacidosis, this more common in Type I diabetes and is caused by the breakdown of fatty acids into ketones when there is not enough glucose stored in the cells for energy; Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Non-Ketotic Syndrome (HHNS) usually associated with insulin deficiency and dehydration; and hypoglycemia due to too much insulin/oral medication is used or too little glucose. All three of these conditions are emergencies and failure to treat quickly can lead to coma and/or death.

The volume of a typical bacterial cell is on the order of 1.0 micrometers cubed. At pH 7.0 how many hydrogen ions are contained inside a bacterial cell?

pH=-log10[H+]=7 so [H+]=10^-7M molar concentration (M) = number of moles / dm^3 so number of moles of H+=10^-7 mol/dm^3 * volume in dm^3 1 dm^3 = (0.1m)^3 = 10^-3 m^3 1 um^3 = (10^-6 m)^3 = 10^-18 m^3 so volume in dm^3 = 10^-15 dm^3 therefore the number of moles of H+=10^-22 there are 6.022*10^23 molecules per mole so there are about 60 H+ ions in the bacterial cell at pH 7

Where is located areolar tissue?

Areolar tissue is found in many locations around the body. One important area is the skin (areolar tissue is found in both the dermis and sub-cutaneous layers of the skin. The areolar tissue located in the skin binds the outer layers of the skin to the muscles beneath. Areolar tissue is also found in or around mucous membranes, and around blood vessels, nerves, and the organs of the body.Through out the human body-it keeps your skin from hanging loosely. DM
