Normally, when blood glucose level increases (e.g. after a meal), the islet cells in the pancreas secrete insulin. When insulin molecules bind to insulin receptors on the surface of a muscle cell, the receptors become activated, initiating a signaling pathway which eventually results in the increase in the number of passive glucose transporters on the muscle cell surface thus increases the uptake of glucose.  Which one of the following conditions will likely result in diabetes?

Indicate whether the following statements are true or false.  [answer1] Reovirus enters into the target cell by first being captured as a “cargo” into a endocytic vesicle. [answer2] Reovirus is activated when an outer shell viral protein is attacked by an intestinal protease. [answer3] The nuclear envelop is thought to have evolved by invagination and pinching off from the plasma membrane of an ancient archaeon. [answer4] An antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis of a bacterium will likely inhibit protein synthesis in mitochondria. [answer5] Most mitochondrial proteins are made within mitochondria.  [answer6] The electrical potential of a charged molecule is zero if the membrane potential is zero.

A patient’s sliding scale for insulin reads as follows: Blood Glucose 150-199 mg/dL: 4 units of insulin Blood Glucose 200-249 mg/dL: 6 units of insulin Blood Glucose 250-299 mg/dL: 8 units of insulin Blood Glucose 300-349 mg/dL: 10 units of insulin The patient’s current blood glucose level is 275 mg/dL. How many units of insulin should the nurse administer?
