The permeability of a lipid bilayer for glucose is 10-8 cm/sec. Consider a cell whose glucose transporter is knocked out. If it is placed in a solution that contains 1 mM glucose, how many glucose molecules will enter the cell in 10 seconds? Assume that the cell contains no glucose and the surface area of its plasma membrane is 5 μm2.
Please show your work utilizing the Flux equation:
Flux1->2 = - P (C2
-C1)
Please show all conversions as well.

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...
Can you please explain in simple terms the methods of this experiment? I'm having difficulty visualizing and understanding what is being done. I have copied and pasted some of the text from the article. Thank you! Abstract : Obesity, high-fat diets, and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with cognitive impairment. Moreover, T2DM increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and leads to abnormal elevation of brain beta-amyloid levels, one of the hallmarks of AD. The psychoactive alkaloid caffeine...
