When you eat a large meal and your body absorbs a lot of glucose and that makes its way to the interstitial fluid before going i

nto the cell. 100% of the glucose should be absorbed into the cell from the interstitial fluid. Why does nearly all of the glucose enter the cell, rather than only half of it?
A. It is moved by active transport.
B. It is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than inside it.
C. Insulin forces glucose into the cell against a concentration gradient.
D. The cells make ATP so fast, they use up all the glucose as soon as it enters the cell.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The glucose is the basic unit of energy. It is absorbed by the cells of the body. The glucose that is taken inside the body by the means of food is utilized to gain energy.

The glucose that is absorbed from the food moves to interstitial spaces before going inside the cell.

100% of the glucose is transferred from the interstitial spaces of the cell to the inside of the cell.

This is because more amount of the glucose is still outside the cell as it is absorbed completely.

1.The Punnett square above shows a cross between two sweet pea plants in Mendel's
jenyasd209 [6]
1) 75% purple flowered and 25% white flowered. If you complete the punnett square, you'll see the combinations are PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. The capital P is dominant (purple), so you know that 3/4 combinations will be purple flowers.

2) 50%. There is a 50% chance Grace will have Huntington's disease because since the disease is dominant, it is capital letter H. When you make a punnett square, you'll see the combinations are Hh, Hh, hh, and hh. There is a 50% chance Grace will have the Hh combination.

3) Protein. Protein is the only bio-molecule out of the 4 options, and the diagram shows a protein being made.

4) Transcription. Transcription is when the genetic message from DNA is transcripted onto mRNA.

In DNA replication, the resulting daughter molecules contain one strand of the original parental DNA and one new strand. What is
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: A) DNA replication is semiconservative. B) DNA replication is conservative. C) RNA synthesis is conservative. D) DNA replication is not conservative. The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Watson and Crick proposed the semi-conservative hypothesis (later demonstrated by Meselson and Stahl in 1957), according to which new DNA molecules formed from an old one have an old and a new strand. This replication model assumed that the double helix DNA separates its two strands and each one serves as a template to synthesize a new strand following the complementary rules of nitrogenous bases. This model was called Semiconservative, since the two newly synthesized double helices have an old strand (an old half) and a new strand (a new half).
