True/False: Type 2 diabetes develops in childhood.

False, that is type 1.

Why is blood clotting an example of a positive feedback loop?

Blood blotting is an example of a positive feedback loop because the original action (platelets going to the laceration) is amplified.

Which biomolecule is not a source of energy for our cells?

Nucleic Acids

A type of feedback loop that stops the initial action.

Negative Feedback Loop

Amanda is visiting her primary care physician for a check-in about her diabetes. Her body does not produce enough insulin. Therefore, her body is insulin deficient. Which type of diabetes does Amanda have? 

Type 1 diabetes.

Describe what happens in the body of an individual that has type 1 diabetes. Key Words: Pancreas, insulin, glucose, cell membrane, cell receptors, channel.

The patient's pancreas does not produce enough glucose. Therefore, there is not insulin to bind to cell receptors on a cell membrane. Because of this, the channels do not open and glucose stays in the blood.

Describe the function of insulin in the blood sugar regulation feedback loop.

Insulin is secreted from the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels when they are too high. Insulin in secreted from the pancreas and binds to receptors on a cell membrane, which allows glucose inside of cells.

What molecule is needed for cellular respiration to occur?

Glucose

Name the type of feedback loop that amplifies the original action.

A positive feedback loop.

What kind of shirt did Ms. Felli where for spirit day yesterday (90's day)? 

An MTV t-shirt.

Why would a physician test for high glucose in urine to determine if a person might be diabetic? 

A diabetic might have high glucose in their urine because their bodies are trying to excrete the excess amount of glucose. This is because an excess amount of glucose can lead to things like heart attack and stroke.

What is the function of glucagon in blood glucose regulation? 

Glucagon is released from the pancreas with blood glucose levels are too low. This tells the liver to break down glycogen into glucose molecules to send back into the blood to raise blood glucose levels.

Where does the process of cellular respiration occur?

In the mitochondria.
