Can you make Dextrose from Swine?

Technically yes, although this would be difficult, require a great deal of inputs and would not result in a product you would call "edible sugar". Dextrose is a specific sugar molecule; in physiologic systems dextrose can be formed from fatty acid chains or proteins via complex enzyme pathways. Those pathways are typically found in plant cells, as plants use carbohydrates (like dextrose) as an energy storage molecule. Animal cells can break down dextrose and convert it to glucose, but typically cannot form dextrose from other molecules. If you really wanted to work at it, you could take a pork carcass and turn a fair portion of it into dextrose, although (as stated above) it would be an extremely energy and enzyme-intensive process.


What is saturated dilute and concentrated?

a saturated solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more substances a concentrated solution is a solution that has a lot of a specific substance in it


What cannot be a solution?

A problem or issue cannot be considered a solution. Solutions are typically actions, strategies, or methods applied to address a problem or overcome a challenge.


What describes a substance that cannot be dissolved in a solution?

A substance that cannot be dissolved in a solution is considered insoluble. This means that the substance will not form a homogenous mixture with the solvent and will remain as separate particles in the solution.


What is the difference between Dextrose and Glucose polymer?

For one, dextrose and glucose are both monomers, or to be specific, monosaccharides. Dextrose and glucose are essentially the same thing, except that dextrose is specifically D-glucose. There exists two stereoisomeric forms of glucose, being D-glucose and L-glucose. "D" refers to "right" and "L" refers to "left". Essentially stereoisomeric means that D-glucose and L-glucose are mirror images of each other. T The difference between L-glucose and R-glucose is that L-glucose cannot be metabolized during glycolysis which is a component of cellular respiration.

Why dextrose 5 percent cannot be used in blood transfusion?

Dextrose 5 percent (D5W) cannot be used in blood transfusions because it can cause red blood cells to swell and hemolyze due to the hypotonic nature of the solution. Additionally, the glucose in D5W can promote bacterial growth, increasing the risk of infection. Blood products are typically mixed with isotonic solutions like normal saline, which maintain osmotic balance and preserve the integrity of the red blood cells during transfusion.


Why you cannot filtrate a solution?

What is d5 ns iv?

D5 NS IV refers to a specific intravenous fluid solution used in medical settings. It consists of 5% dextrose (D5) in normal saline (NS), which contains 0.9% sodium chloride. This solution is often used to provide hydration, deliver calories, and maintain electrolyte balance in patients. It can be administered for various conditions, such as dehydration or when patients cannot take fluids orally.

What is known about the lines of the equations in a system of equation when the solution set is all real numbers?

No answer is possible. As soon as you have one valid line, all points that are not on that line cannot be part of the solution set. Therefore the solution set cannot be all real numbers.No answer is possible. As soon as you have one valid line, all points that are not on that line cannot be part of the solution set.

Explain how you could determine that brass is a solution and not a colloid or suspension?

Brass is a solution as it is homogenous in composition. In cannot be separated out. The particles are as one and do not hang where there could be spun out. Since they cannot be separated, brass is a solution.
