Answer;

-Trisomy

Explanation;

-Trisomy is a chromosomal disorder characterized by an additional chromosome, so the person has 47 instead of 46. An example of trisomy is the Patau syndrome.

-Patau syndrome or trisomy 13 is a type of chromosome disorder characterized by having 3 copies of chromosome 13 in cells of the body, instead of the usual 2 copies. Trisomy 13 cases are caused by random events during the formation of eggs or sperm in healthy parents (meiosis).

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 .
