Diabetes in General
100

Macromolecule used to store genetic information

Nucleic Acid (DNA)

100

In both types of diabetes, ideally we want to see our fasting blood glucose levels below this number of mg/dL.

What is 100?

100
Insulin is this type of macromolecule.
What is a protein?
100
When a cell contains a higher concentration of glucose than the blood, the blood is said to be this type of solution.
What is hypotonic?
100
When blood sugar gets low, glucagon is released by the pancreas. Glucagon causes the release of this substance that is stored in your liver and muscles.
What is glycogen?
200
A hot dog is likely to contain these main two nutrients.
What is protein and fat?
200
The main problem of this type of diabetes is that the body can not produce insulin.
What is type I?
200
Through the process of our body digesting and breaking the bonds that hold the atoms in food particles together, this is released?
What is energy?
200
When one of our cells (typically containing about 0.9% salt) is dropped into a beaker of water, this will be the affect on the cell.
What is the cell will expand?
200
When our body attempts to speed up a process or cause it to increase in amplitude, this is an example of this type of feedback loop.
What is positive?
300

First energy source your body will use

Carbohydrates

300
A 12 year old patient is experiencing increased thirst and is very tired. It is medically determined that their pancreas is not functioning properly. This patient most likely has this type of diabetes.
What is Type I?
300
These are the 20 building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
300
As a result of blood serum being this, a person will urinate a lot and frequently.
What is high in sugar (hypertonic)?
300
Many people with this type of diabetes can maintain good blood sugar control by following a proper meal plan without having to take medication.
What is type II?
400

Main energy-storing molecule of a cell

ATP

400
This type of diabetes is more commonly found in people who eat diets high in sugar content.
What is type II?
400
Glucose, a type of monosaccharide, is a molecule in this class of nutrients.
What are carbohydrates?
400
When the blood serum surrounding the cells has a high concentration of glucose, the cell is in a hypertonic solution and water will move from this to this?
What is inside to outside the cell?
400
If a person has steadily increasing levels of glucose and insulin in their blood following eating a meal, and it takes more than 2-3 hours for both levels to return to normal, they likely have this type of diabetes.
What is type II?
500

Process used to make ATP

Cellular respiration

500
When tested for insulin producing levels, John was found to have a steady rate of producing about 80 picomoles/L, even after eating a meal high in glucose. John likely has this type of diabetes.
What is type I?
500
The process of water being introduced to two or more molecules connected together, causing them to split apart into individual stable molecules.
What is hydrolysis?
500
When a diabetic does not monitor their blood sugar and forgets to take their insulin after eating a big meal, their bodily cells will react this way.
What is shrink (because water will move out of them and into the blood)?
500
Cells can’t take in glucose, water will leave the cells, and the body can’t produce ATP - all of these are the result of a person's body not producing enough of this substance.
What is insulin?
