Do all human cells obtain glucose in the same way 

Biology

kipiarov [429]9 months ago
5 0

Answer:

Animal cells (including humans ofcourse), heterotrophs, derive their energy from coupled oxidation-reduction reactions. Glucose is a primary fuel for heterotrophs. Energy derived from glucose is stored in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP, or other nucleotide triphosphates, and as energy-rich hydrogen atoms associated with the co-enzymes NADP and NAD .

Glucose is unable to diffuse across the cell membrane without the assistance of transporter proteins. At least 13 hexose transporter proteins with different functions have been identified. Some hexose transporters allow glucose to flow passively from high to low concentration without requiring the expenditure of cell energy. Those that move glucose against its concentration gradient consume energy, generally in the form of ATP.

D-Glucose is the natural form used by animal cells.

So yes it is present inside human cells .

tankabanditka [31]
The correct answer is B combustion.

Lavoisier’s oxygen theory of combustion was one of his most notable contribution to science and earned him the title of the “father of modern chemistry”. He recognized the combustible property of oxygen and that phosphorus and other metallic elements increased in terms of weight when burned.
