Diabetes insipidus or diabetes mellitus would most likely be indicated by ________.
- anuria
- polyuria
- oliguria
- none of the above
Introduction:
The normal range of urine volume is 1-2 liters/day. Thus, the volume of urine differs significantly. In order to remove wastes of the body, the kidneys must produce a minimum 500 mL/day of urine volume.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct answer is option (b) polyuria.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) polyuria. Polyuria is a condition characterized by excessive or abnormally large urine production, which is most often caused by diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus. So, the correct answer is option (d).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) anuria. Anuria is described as the virtual deficiency of urine production (<50 mL/day). It is commonly caused by the failure of kidney function or due to obstruction, like a kidney stone or tumor; an enlarged prostate. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (c) oliguria. Below the normal urine output may be due to renal diseases or dehydration. This low urine output condition is termed as oliguria. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) none of the above. The virtual deficiency of the urine production is defined as anuria while the urine output below the normal level is termed as oliguria and excessive urine production is termed polyuria. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Diabetes insipidus or diabetes mellitus would most likely be indicated by polyuria. Hence, the correct answer is option (b) polyuria.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
