Question

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

A metabolic disease or disorder occurs when normal body functions are altered due to abnormal metabolic reactions. Examples of metabolic disorders are:
Heart disease: The abnormal functioning of the heart due to reduced blood supply to heart muscles or blockages in major blood vessels.
Diabetes: Pancreas is not producing enough insulin or body cells are not responding to insulin in a proper way. This leads to abnormal increase in blood sugar level.
Uremia: a condition where excessive urea is present in the blood. This happens when kidneys cannot function properly and are unable to remove urea from the blood.
