Chapter 23, Problem 23.6E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The relation between hypoglycemia and blood sugar level is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The basic sugar or carbohydrate that is a living organism needs for energy in the form of food is known as glucose with molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$. Blood sugar level is the concentration of glucose that is available in the blood. The normal representation of blood sugar level is given by the expression $\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $100\text{mL}$ of blood.

Answer to Problem 23.6E

Hypoglycemia is the drop of the blood sugar level below $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{100}\text{mL}$ of blood.

Explanation of Solution

If an individual does not eat food for a time span of $8$ to $12$ hours then the blood sugar level gets drop down to $70-110\text{mg}$ per $\text{mL}$ of blood. This drop in the blood sugar level is known as the normal fasting level. The normal fasting level is given by $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{mL}$ of blood.

The condition in which the blood sugar level of an individual drops below $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{100}\text{mL}$ of blood is known as hypoglycemia. The common symptoms for this condition of hypoglycemia are convulsions, dizziness or sometimes an individual undergoes coma.

Conclusion

The relation between hypoglycemia and blood sugar level has been shown above.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The relation between hyperglycemia and blood sugar level is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The basic sugar or carbohydrate that is a living organism needs for energy in the form of food is known as glucose with molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$. Blood sugar level is the concentration of glucose that is available in the blood. The normal representation of blood sugar level is given by the expression $\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $100\text{mL}$ of blood.

Answer to Problem 23.6E

Hyperglycemia is the elevation of the blood sugar level above $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{100}\text{mL}$ of blood.

Explanation of Solution

If an individual does not eat food for a time span of $8$ to $12$ hours then the blood sugar level gets drop down to $70-110\text{mg}$ per $\text{mL}$ of blood. This drop in the blood sugar level is known as the normal fasting level. The normal fasting level is given by $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{mL}$ of blood.

The condition in which the blood sugar level of an individual elevates above $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{100}\text{mL}$ of blood is known as hyperglycemia.

Conclusion

The relation between hyperglycemia and blood sugar level has been shown above.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The relation between renal threshold and blood sugar level is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The basic sugar or carbohydrate that is a living organism needs for energy in the form of food is known as glucose with molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$. Blood sugar level is the concentration of glucose that is available in the blood. The normal representation of blood sugar level is given by the expression $\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $100\text{mL}$ of blood.

Answer to Problem 23.6E

Renal threshold is the condition at which situation of kidney fault takes place due to extreme elevation of blood sugar level.

Explanation of Solution

If an individual does not eat food for a time span of $8$ to $12$ hours then the blood sugar level gets drop down to $70-110\text{mg}$ per $\text{mL}$ of blood. This drop in the blood sugar level is known as the normal fasting level. The normal fasting level is given by $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{mL}$ of blood.

If the blood sugar level of an individual elevates rapidly beyond the limited level, then the body is not able to compensate that elevation. The absorbance of sugar in the kidney is done completely due to which the excretion of glucose takes place from the urine. This blood sugar level at which this situation of kidney fault occurs is known as renal threshold.

Conclusion

The relation between renal threshold and blood sugar level has been shown above.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The relation between glucosuria and blood sugar level is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The basic sugar or carbohydrate that is a living organism needs for energy in the form of food is known as glucose with molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$. Blood sugar level is the concentration of glucose that is available in the blood. The normal representation of blood sugar level is given by the expression $\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $100\text{mL}$ of blood.

Answer to Problem 23.6E

Glucosuria is the excretion of the glucose from the urine due to extreme elevation of blood sugar level.

Explanation of Solution

If an individual does not eat food for a time span of $8$ to $12$ hours then the blood sugar level gets drop down to $70-110\text{mg}$ per $\text{mL}$ of blood. This drop in the blood sugar level is known as the normal fasting level. The normal fasting level is given by $70-110\text{mg}$ of glucose present per $\text{mL}$ of blood.

If the blood sugar level of an individual elevates rapidly beyond the limited level, then the body is not able to compensate that elevation. The absorbance of sugar in the kidney is done completely due to which the excretion of glucose takes place from the urine. This excretion of sugar in the urine is known as glucosuria.

Conclusion

The relation between glucosuria and blood sugar level has been shown above.
