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.

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? Select the three correct statements.
jeka57 [31]

The correct statements are:

1. The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.

2. The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.

5. Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.
