Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low levels of potassium can affect multiple processes in the body, including the transport of calcium ions, glucose, and chloride. Therefore, choices I, II, and IV are all potentially affected by low levels of potassium. There is no evidence to suggest that lactose metabolism is directly affected by levels of potassium, so choice III is not correct.
