Why is it necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? why is it necessary to phosphorylate a gl

ucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? to trap the glucose molecule within the cell to allow the glucose molecule to easily pass out of the cell to allow easy passage of the glucose molecule into the mitochondria to create a storage form of glucose that the cell can then hang onto?

It is necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule so as to trap glucose inside the cell, to make ATP, and to facilitate enzyme building. When insulin is released from the pancreas after a meal, it signals the tissues to uptake glucose. When glucose enters the cells via glucose transporters, there is a chance for them to leave the cell. If the body is in need of energy, and the breakdown of glucose will provide that energy, the body does not want the glucose to leave the cell and that is why the glucose is phosphorylated by ATP to become glucose-6-phosphate, which now bears a charge.

Suppose molecules were unable to diffuse into and out of the cells. How might life be different if cells had to use active trans
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...

Primate communication can be compared to human communication in that:________.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

b. although some primates have the ability to transmit meaning from one individual to another, this always happens within a species, never between species; this is similar to humans, since humans do not really understand other animals either.

Explanation:

Transmission of information or message often takes place between species of same kind.

Human can better understand the language, sounds, signs made by fellow human and not sounds from other species of animals or other organism, this is because language or system of communication is attached to a particular domain or organism of a species. Birds communicate differently from a Goat, human does likewise from other primates.

The system of communication is used to a particular locality and if not learned it is not understandable by another species of organism.
