    It is the pathway of lipogenesis.

    • Carbohydrates --Insulin---> Fatty Acids

    • Glucose--Insulin--> Glycogen

    • Fats --> Glucose + Ketone bodies

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbohydrates --Insulin---> Fatty Acids
    Explanation
    Insulin is a hormone that regulates glucose metabolism in the body. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are broken down into glucose, which is then transported into cells with the help of insulin. In the presence of insulin, glucose is converted into fatty acids through a process called lipogenesis. This pathway allows excess glucose to be stored as fat for future energy needs. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that the pathway of lipogenesis is involved in the conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids under the influence of insulin.

    Type of diabetes that is most likely to develop Nonketotic Hyperosmolar States?

    • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

    • Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

    • Gestational Diabetes

    • Any of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
    Explanation
    Nonketotic Hyperosmolar States (NHS) is a serious complication that can occur in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes. It is more commonly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. NHS is characterized by extremely high blood sugar levels and severe dehydration. Type 2 diabetes is often caused by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels and increases the risk of developing NHS. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin and is less likely to lead to NHS. Gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, can also increase the risk of developing NHS, but it is less likely compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus.

  • 32. 

    Accumulation of ketones in the blood.

    • Ketonemia

    • Ketonuria

    • Both a and b

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Ketonemia
    Explanation
    Ketonemia refers to the presence of ketones in the blood. Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. This can happen in conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or during fasting. Accumulation of ketones in the blood can lead to a condition called ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Ketonuria, on the other hand, refers to the presence of ketones in the urine. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both a and b" as both ketonemia and ketonuria indicate the presence of ketones in the blood and urine, respectively.

    Correct Answer
    A. Measure of Spread
    Explanation
    The measure of spread represents the relationship of all data points to the mean. It provides information about how the data is distributed or spread out around the average value. It helps to understand the variability or dispersion of the data points. A larger measure of spread indicates a wider distribution, while a smaller measure of spread indicates a more concentrated or narrow distribution. Therefore, the measure of spread is used to quantify the extent to which data deviates or varies from the mean.
