When the levels of glucose in the blood elevate, the beta cells in the pancreas discharge insulin that encourages uptake of glucose for storage and metabolism. This hormone is recognized by the insulin receptors found in the surface of the cell.
If an individual is having 1000 insulin receptors, in each cell of the liver in spite of exhibiting the usual 90000 or more, then the individual would not possess the tendency to consume or absorb the usual amount of insulin, monitor the levels of sugar as effectively, or store glucose as effectively.
Answer:
The code in DNA is stored in the four chemical bases (Adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine) which are found in the genes. These include the information the cell needs to make specific proteins. Each base pair is made from 2 complementary nucleotides (either A+T or G+C) and bound together with hydrogen bonds.

Answer:
<u><em>Endocytosis</em></u>
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion just means that a channel/carrier protein facilitates the transport of the molecule. It goes along the concentration gradient.
Diffusion is simple passive transport/simple diffusion. Only small nonpolar molecules can do this.
<u><em>Endocytosis is a type of bulk transport. It is when macromolecules are brought into the cell. This is a type of active transport because it requires energy to do.</em></u>
Osmosis is specifically used for water, and water is a small, nonpolar molecule. In a phospholipid bilayer/cell membrane, aquaporins (a protein) are used to facilitate transport across the membrane. Fun fact: Reverse osmosis is used to desalinate salt water. They basically push water through a man-made membrane that will only allow water to pass through.
Overall, passive transport is along the concentration gradient, while active is against it (going along the concentration gradient means if there is more of one molecule on one side of a membrane than the other, the molecule on the higher side will go towards the lower side)
I learned this in respect to a phospholipid bilayer. If you need a further explanation on any of this lmk.
