There are two types of diabetes, Type I and Type II. The treatment for Type I diabetes is different from the treatment for Type II
diabetes, so it is important for a correct diagnosis to be made.
Diagnosis can be difficult, particularly in people aged between 20 and 40 years old.
A genetic screening method is now available for the diagnosis of diabetes.
Explain why doctors are more likely to screen individuals once they develop
diabetes than use methods such as prenatal testing.

Iron reacts with oxygen to produce iron oxide (rust). this reaction is represented in an equation as 4fe + xo2 → 2fe2o3. identify the value of x that will balance the equation.

Match the descriptions / definitions with the term they best describe 1. three dimensional relationship of the different polypeptide chains in a multisubunit protein or protein complex 2. common folding pattern in proteins in which a linear sequence of amino acids folds into a right-handed coil stabilized by internal hydrogen-bonding between polypeptide backbone atoms. 3. the amino acid sequence of a protein 4. a region on the surface of a protein that can interact with another molecule through noncovalent bonding. 5. three-dimensional arrangement of alpha-helices and beta-sheets within a single polypeptide, typically stabilized by a variety of noncovalent bonds, including ionic and hydrogen bonds, and nonpolar interactions / hydrophobic force. 6. the chain of repeating carbon and nitrogen atoms, linked by peptide bonds, in a protein. 7. common structural motif in proteins in which different sections of the polypeptide chain run alongside each other and are joined together by hydrogen bonding between atoms of the polypeptide backbone. 8. portion of a polypeptide chain that has a discrete tertiary structure of its own and can often fold independently of the rest of the chain 9. regular local folding patterns in a protein, including alpha-helix and beta-sheet a. primary structure b. beta-sheet c. protein d. coiled-coil e. polypeptide backbone f. secondary structure g. side chain h. tertiary structure i. binding site j. alpha-helix k. quaternary structure l. protein domain
