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.

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen

Describe the appearance of the water and the hydrogen peroxide. How are they similar and how are they different?
Ber [7]

The bonds that hold H2O2 together break apart and the atoms are rearranged to form water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) molecules. This happens slowly in store-‐bought hydrogen peroxide, so even in dark bottles, it will 'expire' in a year, or less if it's opened. ... And higher concentrations of H2O2 produce more oxygen.
