Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, typically occurs when there is insufficient glucose in the bloodstream, not from an excess. However, excessive glucose can lead to insulin secretion, which may cause blood sugar levels to drop too low if insulin levels remain high or if glucose is rapidly utilized by cells. Therefore, while excess glucose itself does not directly cause hypoglycemia, the body's response to it can potentially lead to low blood sugar levels.
What else can I help you with?
Who would suffer hypoglycemia if they get low blood glucose levels from excess insulin action?
Diabetes
What type of diabetes would one have if there was excess glucose in urine?
ketoacidosis
It could be excess i?
It could be excess insulin secretion from your pancreas, but high glucose foods may cause this, and the enzymes would help
Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
excess carbon dioxide
Why would your family physician at the turn of the twentieth century taste your urine?
To see if it's sweet. This would mean there is insufficient glucose reabsorption by the kidney to the body. There will be excess glucose in the filtrate.
How do animals store glucose?
Animals primarily store glucose in the form of glycogen in their liver and muscles. Glycogen serves as a readily accessible energy reserve that can be broken down into glucose when needed. Excess glucose can also be converted into fat for long-term energy storage.
What would the increase of insulin result to?
a decrease in the amount of glucose in the blood
What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
Would glucose give a positive result with the Biuret test?
No, glucose would not give a positive result with the Biuret test. The Biuret test is specific for detecting proteins, not sugars like glucose. It works by reacting with peptide bonds in proteins to form a colored complex.
Why would hypo secretion of insulin cause an increase in the amount of sugar in urine?
Hypo secretion of insulin leads to insufficient insulin levels in the body, which impairs glucose uptake by cells. As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream, causing hyperglycemia. When blood glucose levels exceed the renal threshold, the kidneys cannot reabsorb all the excess glucose, leading to its excretion in urine. This process results in glycosuria, or the presence of sugar in urine.
Can you tell me what amount of blood sugar range is normal?
Fasting blood glucose should be between 70-100. A normal blood glucose would be about 125. If your fasting glucose is above 125, you may be at a high risk for developing diabetes. Your blood sugar should never be 60 or below, this is hypoglycemia and it means you could pass out or have a seizure.
What would you expect if you hydrolyze cellulose?
Hydrolyzing cellulose breaks down the long cellulose chains into glucose molecules. This process requires enzymes to catalyze the reaction. As a result, you would expect to obtain glucose as the main product of cellulose hydrolysis.
