You've just attended a football game with your friend Kaylee, who has Type I diabetes mellitus. Though Kaylee drank only one beer during the game, she is having trouble walking straight, her speech is slurred, and she is not making sense. What is the most likely explanation for Kaylee's current behavior, and how could you help her? a. Kaylee's blood sugar has increased due to metabolism of the carbohydrates in her beer. Kaylee's pancreas is secreting insulin normally, but the target cells are poorly responsive, so giving Kaylee a dose of insulin will not help.
b. Kaylee is feeling the effects of dehydration. Type I diabetes mellitus is caused by an ADH deficiency, a syndrome marked by intense thirst and a large urine output. You should help Kaylee find a hydrating beverage such as Gatorade or Pedialyte.
c. Kaylee is feeling the effects of hyperglycemia. Her blood sugar has increased due to metabolism of the carbohydrates in her beer. You should help Kaylee administer an injection of insulin in order to reduce her blood glucose levels.
d. Kaylee is feeling the effects of hypoglycemia. Her blood sugar has dropped due to metabolism of the alcohol in her beer. You should help Kaylee administer an injection of insulin in order to increase her blood glucose levels.

After a recent rainy season, a number of the communities in a western state suffered flooding and mudslides. a study commissioned by the state legislature determined that the extensive removal of a certain plant from hillsides within the state contributed significantly to the flooding and mudslides. the plant had an extensive root system that hold hillside soil in place, and it was being rapidly removed because its roots had recently gained national favor as a powerful herbal remedy. as a result, the legislature passed a statute prohibiting the removal of more than 50% of such plants from any hillside within the state. a landowner within the state challenged the statute under the takings clause of the fifth amendment, alleging that he had regularly harvested substantially more than 50% of the plants from his property and needed to do the same this year to meet the demand for the root. is he likely to prevail in his challenge?
