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.

At the end of cytokinesis, how many daughter chromosomes will be found in each cell
trapecia [35]
At the end of cytokinesis there no longer exists chromatids, they are just individual chromosomes.

If you're talking about Meiosis, there are 4 (HAPLOID) daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis. So each daughter cell will have HALF the number of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Whereas at the end of Mitosis there are 2 identical DIPLOID sister cells.
