What are some of the causes of metabolic alkalosis?
- Alkali ingestion, such as antacids or bicarbonate - Vomiting, which may result in the loss of too much H+ - Constipation, which may result in reabsorption of elevated levels of HCO3-
What will the result of ethanol plus iodine be?
When ethanol reacts with iodine, it forms a yellow-brown solution due to the formation of iodoethane and hydrogen iodide. The reaction is a substitution reaction where iodine replaces a hydrogen atom in ethanol.
How can goitre be prevented?
Goiter is the result of a dietary deficiency, insufficient iodine, and occurs in areas where the foods that people eat do not contain enough iodine because they do not routinely eat seafood and the soils in which their food is grown lacks iodine that can be taken up by the plants. Because seafood normally is a rich source of iodine, those populations with access to fish were historically less likely to experience goiter. Routine consumption of seafood was a very early means of preventing or treating goiter. In more recent decades, the addition of iodine to salt (iodized salt) used on food has prevented goiter in most developed countries.
What are the potential risks associated with excessive vitamin D intake?
Excessive intake of vitamin D can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, and kidney damage. It can also lead to high levels of calcium in the blood, which can result in symptoms like confusion, frequent urination, and kidney stones. It is important to follow recommended daily intake levels to avoid these risks.
What food doesn't react with iodine?
It's very likely that Iodine will react with plant products, since Iodine reacts with starch. Negative controls (glucose, water, and protein) could be used to verify the result.
What are the danger in taking iodine?
Taking excessive amounts of iodine can lead to thyroid dysfunction, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. It can also cause inflammation of the salivary glands, stomach upset, and skin reactions. In severe cases, iodine toxicity can result in kidney failure or death.
Why table salt is called iodized salt?
Table salt is iodized (that is, iodine is included via sodium iodide or potassium iodide) because people used to be unable to get enough iodine from their diets, and iodine is necessary for a person's thyroid gland to work properly. Since the thyroid is responsible for growth and immunity, people with thyroid deficiency had dramatic problems including dwarfism and goiter (a lump on the front of the throat where the thyroid gland resides). As a result of these problems, iodine was added to table salt (NaCl). These days, it is actually more likely that a person will develop iodine toxicity (i.e. overdose on iodine) because a typical person's salt intake is SO high above what we need for sodium or iodine. One sign of iodine toxicity is greasy skin and pimples.
What is used to test for presence of polysaccharide?
Most likely the sucrose test. what biologist use is the iodine test. Iodine is used to test for the presence of starch( a polysaccharide) any material containing starch always turn blue-black when iodine is added.
What is the disease of the endocrine system which is the result of lack of iodine?
Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide.
What result is yield when iodine place in potato juice?
When iodine is placed in potato juice it turns dark purple to black. It's the starch in potatoes that reacts with the iodine.
How does acidocis differ from alkalocis?
Acidosis is the result of excessive acid in body fluids, whereas alkalosis is the result of excessive base in body fluids.
What do the result of the iodine test indicate about the composition of the endosperm?
The result of the iodine test indicates the presence of starch in the endosperm. When the endosperm is stained blue-black by iodine, it suggests a high starch content. Conversely, if there is little to no staining, it indicates a low starch content in the endosperm.
