Skeletal muscle - GLUT1, GLUT4
Intestinal epithelium - GLUT1, GLUT2, SGLT1
Neurons - GLUT1, GLUT3
Liver cells - GLUT1, GLUT2
Bone - None
GLUT1 is expressed in all cells/tissues and is a uniporter.
GLUT2 is a bidirectional transporter
GLUT3 is specific for neurons
GLUT4 is insulin regulated glucose transporter
SGLT1 is sodium-glucose linked transporter

1. Understanding cell shape Within the context of tissues and organs cells adopt specific shapes or form certain patterns to facilitate their function. The human body contains more than 300 different types of cell, many of which have a unique appearance that is indicative of their function. The sketches below are of neuronal cells, muscle cells, red blood cells, bone cells and fat cells. Decide which sketch is which cell type and then write a small comment suggesting how the...

Glucose is essential for the body to function. Nearly all tissues use glucose for energy and biosynthesis, and the brain relies heavily on glucose as an energy source. Both Dave's and Michael's livers must have produced some glucose during their three-week experiment before the marathon Classify each substance based on whether a healthy person's liver can use it to create glucose for the brain and other tissues. Can be used by the liver to create glucose Cannot be used by...

6) In unstimulated muscle cells, the glucose transporter Glute is present in the membrane of endosomes. Upon stimulation of these cells with insulin, the endosomes fuse with the plasma membrane, thereby depositing Glut4 in the plasma membrane, where it serves to transport glucose into the cells. In order for insulin to elicit this change in Glute localization, insulin must bind to its receptor, present in the plasma membrane of some cells. To determine if a stem cell line can be...

Which of the ONE following characteristic is usually NOT TRUE of cancer cells and the tumors that result? (i.e. all of the answers below are correct except for one-- select the incorrect answer!) Cancer cells do not migrate within the body. Cancer is usually caused by multiple acquired mutations. Cancer cells evolve over time--becoming more potent and more deadly. Cancer cells have dysregulated (uncontrolled) cell division activity. Some cancers are preventable. Question 9 (4 points) Which of the following of...

Yet, all the cells in your body contain the same
genes (and same alleles). The difference across cell types
is that genes get selectively expressed (turned on or off)
based on the proteins needed for cellular function given their
environment.
