Glucose enters erythrocytes via a GLUT-1 uniporter. As the levels of glucose in the bloodstream decrease between meals, what hap

pens to the glucose in the cells? A. Glucose leaves the cell through the GLUT-1 uniporter, traveling down the new concentration gradient. B. Glucose remains in the cell because uniporters can only transport in one direction. C. Glucose remains in the cell because the GLUT-1 uniporters are gated and the gates close at low glucose concentrations. D. Glucose remains in the cell because it has been phosphorylated and no longer has affinity forthe GLUT-1 uniporter.

Answer:

A. Glucose leaves the cell through the GLUT-1 uniporter, traveling down the new concentration gradient.  

Explanation:

The Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) protein is a critical uniporter transporter that facilitates the movement of glucose molecules across the plasma membrane. The expression of GLUT1 is increased when glucose concentration is reduced and, inversely, GLUT1 expression is reduced when glucose levels are increased. The erythrocytes are cells that continuously require the supply of glucose from the blood plasma, this mechanism involves the function of GLUT1 that permits the energy-free passage of glucose by diffusion.

We breathe more quickly and deeply when we exercise. Why does this make sense? Select all that apply. a) Because when we exercis
storchak [24]

Answer:

a) Because when we exercise, we hydrolyze more ATP to ADP and Pi, and O2 is necessary for the hydrolysis, so we increase our intake of oxygen.

c) Because when we exercise, we produce more CO2 and increased ventilation is necessary to rid ourselves of CO2.

d) Because when we exercise, we use more ATP, and additional O2 is necessary to generate sufficient ATP.

Explanation:

During exercise , our body needs more energy in the form of ATP. This ATP comes from break down of food materials in the mitochondria of the cell during cellular respiration. With the addition of oxygen, more ATP is produced during respiration and this ATP is used by the body. With ATP, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste material which can be removed by exhaled out during breathing.

6. Would there be a net flow of water in one direction in the following situations? Explain your answers.
amid [387]

Answer: There won't be a net flow of water in one direction in the situation.

Explanation: The concentration of NaCl inside the cell and its concentration outside the cell is the same. This means that there is equilibrium (a balance) between the inside environment of the cell and the outside environment of the cell. And because there is equilibrium between the two sides there will not be a net flow of water in one direction. The flow of water must be in opposite directions (inside and outside) so as to maintain a balance between the two environments.
