Question

neuroglycopenic symptoms (dizziness, obtunded or altered mental status) become evident when hypoglycemia occurs (glucose levels < 50). to elevate plasma glucose levels back to normal range (60 to 100), glucagon hormone, released from alpha cells of the pancreas, increases blood glucose levels by directing liver cells to start glycogenosis (breaking down of glycogen, a polysaccharide polymer made up of glucose units) into glucose (a monomer) which is then in turn transferred to the blood.

Explanation:

First Question (True/False)

• Neuroglycopenic symptoms occur with hypoglycemia (glucose < 50). Glucagon from pancreatic alpha cells triggers glycogenolysis (not glycogenosis, but this might be a typo; the process of breaking glycogen into glucose is glycogenolysis) to raise blood glucose to 60 - 100. Despite the possible typo, the core concept (glucagon raises glucose via glycogen breakdown) and symptom - glucose level details match known physiology. So the statement is True.

• In an atom, the red - (negative charge) particle (A) is an electron (negatively charged, orbits the nucleus). The blue + (positive charge) particle (B) is a proton (positively charged, in the nucleus). The light - colored particle (C) is a neutron (neutral charge, in the nucleus with protons).
• So:
• A: Electron (negative charge, orbits nucleus)
• B: Proton (positive charge, in nucleus)
• C: Neutron (neutral charge, in nucleus)

Answer:

True
