1) Simple diffusion: Glucose molecule cannot pass through the cell membrane via simple diffusion as the size of Glucose molecule is too large.
Glucose is transported by either facilitated diffusion or active transport depending on the specific metabolic needs of the cell.
2) Facilitated diffusion: Glucose can be transported by this method.The carrier proteins bind to glucose molecule which causes a conformational change, resulting in translocation of glucose from one side of the membrane to the other.Example-glucose in RBC
3)Active transport: Active transport of glucose is driven by Na+ gradient which is responsible for the uptake of glucose from the intestinal lumen.The transport of Na+ ion in the energetically favourable direction drives the uptake of glucose against its concentration gradient.Example- epithelia of small intestine
A cell wishes to import glucose from its environment. For each mode of transport noted below...
During the aerobic metabolism of glucose, glucose is ____________. Reduced to form water Oxidized to form water Reduced to form CO2 Oxidized to form CO2 Which of the following describes the equation: FAD + XH2 à FADH2 + X. FAD is reduced to FADH2 It is a coupled reduction – oxidation reaction XH2 is oxidized to X All of the above Which of the following is FALSE about glycolysis? The initial steps of glycolysis requires energy derived from the splitting...
Do expect the cell to produce more ATP from one glucose molecule or from one fatty acid molecule? Explain your answer. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is false, explain why it is false The proteins of the electron-transport chain remove a pair of high-energy electrons from the cofactors, NADH and FADH_2, after which the electrons move across the inner mitochondrial membrane to maintain the voltage gradient. Gluconeogenesis is a linear reaction pathway that...

Inb Digest foreign bacteria and toxic substances Produces energy from glucose y Aid in cell division Synthesize proteins Which of the following statement is false about the cell membrane? 2. Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid layer The cell membrane prefers large molecules to pass through freely Cell membrane is a semipermeable boundary which determines what can enter and ex the cell The exterior surface is hydrophilic phosphate...

From the pages 571-587 attached below.
1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?
1b) What is this name...
TrueGrid manufactures the world’s strongest permeable paver. It’s a 100% permeable, which is an alternative to concrete and asphalt. It is permeable solution that allows the water to permeate through the surface and be detained below. It’s able to handle high traffic and heavy loads, so it can go from your drive way all the way to your high traffic 18 wheeler parking lots and everything in between. TrueGrid helps prevent flooding because the biggest reason is there is no...

General Biology BIO121 Yeast Fermentation Lab Introduction Organisms stay alive by the utilization of energy through metabolism. The energy acquiring pathways in photosynthesis convert radiant energy from the sun into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrates. This photosynthetic process is limited to the producers or autotrophs, which include plants, photosynthetic bacteria and some protists....
