Do all human cells obtain glucose in the same way 

Biology
1 answer:
kipiarov [429]1 year 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 .

According to Neptune second law of motion of an object will accelerate if which kind of force is applied
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Unbalanced force

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, any unbalanced force that is applied on a body will cause it to have some acceleration.

However, If the force is balanced like the net effect of one force is cancelled by the other, it will result in total force as zero, that will cause zero acceleration in the body.

Newton's second law of motion states:

                                                   F=ma

where m is mass and a is acceleration, so it means that is any of these factors is zero , the force will be zero, and hence force is zero only when it is cancelled by some force acting in opposite direction.

For example: When person is dragging the table with a force of 30 N on left side, while the other person is dragging the same table with same force on right side. The table will have zero acceleration.

Hope it help!

A cruise ship makes its way from one island to another. The ship is in motion compared with which reference point
oee [108]

a lighthouse on a nearby island

Explanation:

This is a relativity problem.

The cruise ship making its way to another island is in motion compared to a lighthouse on a nearby island.

The reference point of the ship motion is with respect to the stationary light house on the Island it is heading to.

Relativistic motion is taken to reference point.

How does acid precipitation cause rocks to weather faster?
larisa86 [58]
Because it causes them to move, and so they weather that way. Buut the acid rain can leak into the rock and slowly break down the atoms, causing it to chemically weather faster. Also, just regular water/rain can wash away some covering sediment.
