Destruction of the pancreatic "Beta Cells" can lead to hyperglycemia is enough of them are annihilated. This is because the beta cells of the organ the pancreas are responsible for producing the hormone insulin, whose job is to lower blood-glucose levels when they rise (as after a high-carbohydrate meal).
Without enough insulin secreted by beta cells, glucose levels will continue to rise in the blood plasma, a condition called hyperglycemia.
This is actually the main cause of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM, aka Type 1 Diabetes).

Energy extraction and the complete oxidation of foodstuffs requires three stages. The energy extracted from fuels is converted t
frozen [14]

Note: Question lack some information i have added full question with answer as picture. see attachment.

Answer:

d. In the first stage, macro-molecules are converted to monomers, and a small amount of ATP is produced.

e. In the second stage, monomers are broken down, and a small amount of ATP is produced.

c. In the third stage, fuel molecules are completely oxidized to CO2, and no ATP is produced.

Explanation:

When we take food a process starts which is called as cellular respiration. Through this process the food energy is converted into cellular energy which will further used by body. During all this process oxygen and glucose are converted into water and carbon dioxide and energy in this process is converted into ATP.

Researchers believe that in a fish species, individuals with the recessive genotype aa are predisposed to disease. Homozygous do
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The homozygous dominant phenotype is higher than expected, indicating that evolution has occurred.

Explanation:

At the start there are 200 fishes in the pond, 100 of them are AA(50%) and 100 of them are aa(50%). Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation we can say that the gene frequency is

A=0.5

a=0.5

With those frequency, the expected percentage of offspring with dominant genotype will be:

AA= 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 = 25%

The number of homozygous dominant found is 35% which is higher than expected  (25%). Higher homozygous dominant frequency than expected means the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is changed. In this case, evolution probably the cause that shifts the gene frequency.
