Question

what is the correct spelling of the word that means low blood sugar? select one: a. hypoglycemia b. hypergliecemia c. hypogliecemia d. hyperglycemia

Explanation:

To determine the correct spelling for "low blood sugar", we analyze each option:

• Option a: "hypoglycemia" is the correct medical term. "Hypo - " means low, and "glycemia" relates to blood sugar.
• Option b: "hypergliecemia" has a misspelling (incorrect "glie") and "hyper - " means high, so it's for high blood sugar, not low.
• Option c: "hypogliecemia" has a misspelling (incorrect "glie").
• Option d: "hyperglycemia" means high blood sugar (due to "hyper - "), not low.

Answer:

a. hypoglycemia
