Mice that carry a particular genetic mutation remain healthy as long as they are fed regularly and not allowed to exercise. After they eat, their blood glucose level rises slightly and then declines to a homeostatic level. However, if these mice fast or exercise at all, their blood glucose drops dangerously. Which hypothesis best explains their problem? Explain your choice. a. The mice have insulin-dependent diabetes. b. The mice lack insulin receptors on their cells. c. The mice lack glucagon receptors on their cells. d. The mice cannot synthesize glycogen from glucose.
A strain of mice remains healthy as long as they are fed regularly. After they eat, their blood glucose level rises slightly and then declines to a homeostatic level. However, when these mice fast or exercise, their blood glucose drops dangerously. Which hypothesis best explains their problem? (Explain your choice.) a. The mice have insulin-dependent diabetes. b. The mice lack insulin receptors on their cells. c. The mice lack glucagon receptors on their cells. d. The mice cannot synthesize glycogen from glucose.
A strain of transgenic mice remains healthy as long as you feed them regularly and do not let them exercise. After they eat, their blood glucose level rises slightly and then declines to a homeostatic level. However, if these mice fast or exercise at all, their blood glucose drops dangerously. Which hypothesis best explains their problem? (Explain your choice.) a. The mice have insulin-dependent diabetes. b. The mice lack insulin receptors on their cells. c. The mice lack glucagon receptors on their cells. d. The mice cannot synthesize glycogen from glucose.
