Document Summary
Type-1 diabetes is an autoimmune process that usually presents early in life. The body attacks the beta cells of the pancreas. Type-2 diabetes is when there is a resistance to the insulin that is being produced by the pancreas. Hypoglycemia isn"t a symptom of diabetes, but too much insulin injected means more glucose is taken out of the blood, and the levels drop. H2o + co2 h2co3 hco3- + h+ Metabolic acidosis: excess h+, and the bicarbonate will mop up the h+ and push the equation over towards the co2 side so you can breathe off the excess acid. Pepsinogen unfolds in the stomach at a ph of 2. 0 due to protonation of carboxylic acid side chains. Alkalosis: protonation is addition of a proton, h+ is in excess when the ph drops, the carboxylic acids lose their charge at a low ph, and the h+ can bind to the.
