Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Adjustments in the maternal metabolism allow for nutrition of both the mother and the fetus. Glucose is transported across the placenta to meet energy needs for the fetus. The amount is directly proportional for both the mother and the fetus. Insulin does not cross the placenta. By the 10th week of gestation, the infant secretes an adequate amount of insulin. Therefore, when gestational diabetes occurs, mom cannot metabolize the glucose, but the baby can. If left untreated, this can lead to a large birth weight baby.
