19.	What is the importance of the glucose blood level for human health?
Answer» The glucose blood level (glycemia) must be kept normal. If it is abnormally low there is not enough glucose to supply the energetic metabolism of the cells. If it is abnormally and chronically high it causes severe harm to the peripheral nerves, the skin, the retina, the kidneys and other important organs and it may predispose to cardiovascular diseases (acute myocardial infarction, strokes, thrombosis, etc). If it is acutely too high medical emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis and the hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state may occur.

Discussion

20.	What are the target organs upon which insulin and glucagon act?
Answer» Glucagon mainly acts upon the liver. Insulin acts in general upon all cells. Both also act upon the adipose tissue respectively stimulating (glucagon) and inhibiting (insulin) the use of fatty acids in the energetic metabolism (an alternate path of the energetic metabolism is activated when there is shortage of glucose).

Discussion

21.	What are the functions of insulin and glucagon for the blood glucose control?
Answer» Glucagon increases glycemia and insulin reduces it. They are antagonistic pancreatic hormones. Glucagon acts stimulating glycogenolysis and thus forming glucose from glycogen breaking. Insulin is the hormone responsible for the entrance of glucose from the blood into the cells. When glycemia is low, for example, during fasting, glucagon is secreted and insulin is inhibited. When glycemia is high, as after meals, there are inhibition of glucagon and more secretion of insulin.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question. Given: Statement I: Grandfather’s age = 75 Grandmother’s age = 67 Average age of two sibling = 15 Average age of family = 40 Statement II: Age of third sibling = 4 + Average age of all three siblings Formula used: Average age = Sum of ages of all persons/ Number of persons Calculations: Statement I: Let the average age of parents be ‘p’ and the age of third sibling be 't' Sum of age of two siblings = 15 × 2 = 30 Average age of family = 40 = (75 + 67 + 30 + t + 2p)/7 ⇒ 172 + t + 2p = 280 ⇒ t + 2p = 108 ----(i) Statement II: Let the average age of three siblings be 'x' Age of third sibling = x + 4 ⇒ [30 + (x +4)]/3 = x ⇒ 30 + x + 4 = 3x ⇒ 2x =34 ⇒ x = 17 Age of third sibling = t = 21 years Substituting the value of t in (i), ⇒ 21 + 2p = 108 ⇒ 2p = 87 ⇒ p = 43.5 years ∴ If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Directions: Below question is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer.What is the average age of parents?Statement I: There are 7 members in a family which includes two grandparents, two parents, and three siblings. Grandfather's age is 75 years and grandmother’s age is 67 years. The average age of two siblings is 15 and the average age of the family is 40 years.Statement II: The third sibling’s age is 4 years more than the average age of the three siblings1. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.2. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.3. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.4. If the data even in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.5. If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Given:

Statement I: Grandfather’s age = 75

Grandmother’s age = 67

Average age of two sibling = 15

Average age of family = 40

Statement II: Age of third sibling = 4 + Average age of all three siblings

Formula used:

Average age = Sum of ages of all persons/ Number of persons

Calculations:

Statement I:

Let the average age of parents be ‘p’ and the age of third sibling be 't'

Sum of age of two siblings = 15 × 2 = 30

Average age of family = 40 = (75 + 67 + 30 + t + 2p)/7

⇒ 172 + t + 2p = 280

⇒ t + 2p = 108 ----(i)

Statement II:

Let the average age of three siblings be 'x'

Age of third sibling = x + 4

⇒ [30 + (x +4)]/3 = x

⇒ 30 + x + 4 = 3x

⇒ 2x =34

⇒ x = 17

Age of third sibling = t = 21 years

Substituting the value of t in (i),

⇒ 21 + 2p = 108

⇒ 2p = 87

⇒ p = 43.5 years

∴ If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
