Question

Use terms from the following list to match with the statements below: potassium insulin calcium ATP GLUT-2 When blood glucose increases above its normal range, glucose enters pancreatic beta cells with die help of the plasma membrane carrier. Once inside the cell, glucose is catabolized to produce When produced in large enough amount, this common product of metabolism binds to the channels to close them. I his closure results in depolarization and triggers the entry of necessary for triggering the exocytosis of

Answer 1

Answer:

23. GLUT-2

24. ATP

25. Potassium

26.Calcium

27.Insulin

Explanation:

Glucose is transported into the beta cell by facilitated diffusion through a glucose transporter GLUT-2. This causes membrane depolarization and an influx of extracellular Ca2+ which activate calcium-independent pathways resulting in insulin exocytosis from beta cells.
