6. what would you expect to happen if your blood sugar was 120 mg / 100 ml ? be specific.
7. a person with diabetes cannot regulate their blood sugar, mainly because the pancreas does not release enough insulin. to treat the disease, a person must monitor their blood sugar, if their blood sugar is high, they must take an injection of insulin. how do you think they would need to treat low blood sugar?
8. in a single sentence, explain the relationship between the pancreas and homeostasis.
9. where does the glucose that is released into the blood ultimately end up (2 places)?
10. explain how the thermostat in your house uses a negative feedback system to maintain your home’s temperature.

Accepted Answer

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
A normal fasting blood sugar level is typically around 70 - 100 mg/100 mL, and a level of 120 mg/100 mL (if fasting) is slightly elevated (prediabetic range). The pancreas would detect this and release insulin to help cells take in glucose, lowering blood sugar. If non - fasting, 120 mg/100 mL can be normal after a meal, and insulin will still act to regulate it, with cells using glucose for energy or storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
# Answer:
If blood sugar is 120 mg/100 mL (fasting: prediabetic), the pancreas releases insulin to help cells absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar; (non - fasting: normal post - meal), insulin regulates it, with glucose used for energy or stored as glycogen in liver/muscles.

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in diabetics occurs when there's too much insulin or not enough glucose. To raise blood sugar, they need to consume fast - acting carbohydrates like glucose tablets, fruit juice, or candy, which quickly increase blood glucose levels.
# Answer:
To treat low blood sugar, a diabetic should consume fast - acting carbohydrates (e.g., glucose tablets, fruit juice) to quickly raise blood glucose levels.

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
The pancreas maintains homeostasis by secreting insulin (lowers blood sugar when high) and glucagon (raises blood sugar when low), regulating blood glucose levels within a narrow range.
# Answer:
The pancreas maintains homeostasis by secreting insulin and glucagon to regulate blood glucose levels within a stable range.

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
Glucose in the blood is taken up by cells (especially muscle and liver cells) to be used for cellular respiration (producing ATP for energy) and by the liver (and muscles) to be stored as glycogen for later use.
# Answer:
The glucose released into the blood ultimately ends up in cells (for cellular respiration to produce energy) and in the liver (and muscles, stored as glycogen).

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
A house thermostat has a set temperature. If the house temperature drops below the set point, the thermostat triggers the heater to turn on (output increases temperature). When the temperature reaches the set point, the thermostat stops the heater (negative feedback: output reduces the stimulus that caused it), maintaining the home's temperature.
# Answer:
The thermostat senses the home’s temperature; if it’s below the set point, it turns on the heater (increasing temperature), and when the temperature reaches the set point, it turns off the heater (negative feedback: the response (heat) reduces the stimulus (cold)), maintaining the home’s temperature.
