A40-year-old man who is morbidly obese and leads a sedentary lifestyle has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. which aspects of the man’s obesity likely contributed to his new health problem?
a)the low metabolic needs of adipose tissue mimic a hypoglycemic state and suppress insulin secretion.
b)free fatty acids (ffas) contribute to problems such as beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance.
c)fat tissue initiates glycogenolysis and reliance on glycogen release rather than metabolism of free glucose.
d)triglyceride deposits in the pancreas result in damage to beta cells.

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Free fatty acids contribute to the problems as these are involved in regulating the beta-cell equilibrium that leads to the beta cell dysfunction in a higher level of free fatty acids and increases the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Higher free fatty acids in the blood caused resistance to the insulin by disturbing the transport of the glucose into the muscles.  

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

what test are you taking

absolute strength refers to the maximum force exerted by a body irrespective of body size. relative strength on the other hand is the force exerted by a body in relation to muscle size or body weight.

so the answer is: c. absolute strength measures strength regardless of your body size, while relative strength measures strength adjusted for your weight.
