<span>Four basic processes are involved in the formation of a clastic sedimentary rock: weathering (erosion)caused mainly by friction of waves, transportation where the sediment is carried along by a current, deposition and compaction where the sediment is squashed together to form a rock of this kind.</span>

Do all human cells obtain glucose in the same way 
kipiarov [429]

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 .

The following statements describe different types of lipids. Fill in the blanks with the following wordsa.triacylglycerolsb. gly
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

1.) Compounds that contain a fused ring systerm are called _steroids_. These have three 6-membered rings and one 5-membered ring. some of these compounds are found in biological membranes.

2.) _Fatty acids__ are the building blocks for many lipids, and they generally contain an even number of carbon atoms and an unbranched hydrocarbon chain

3.) _Glycolipid__ are formed when a carbohydrate is glycosidically linked to a hydroxyl group of a lipid. examples include gangliosides and cerebrosides. these are also found in biological membranes.

4.) _Triacylglycerols_are the storage form of lipids, accumulating in adipose tissue, and they can be used as metabloic fuel. these compounds have a polar part, made of three ester groups, and a nonpolar fatty acid tail.

5.) _Sphingolipids__ are made up of a long-chain amino alcohol joined, either by a glycosidic linkage or a phosphodiester linkage, to a fatty acid. these do not contain _glycerol__. they are abundant in the nervous system.

6.) When glycerol esterified to two fatty acids and a phophoric acid molecule a _glycerophospholipid_ is formed. These are found in biological membranes.
