Discuss glucose transport in epithelial cells, include tight junctions in your discussion.

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Glucose transport in epithelial cell uses Facilitated diffusion (is the process where

molecules/ions cross a biological member via specific transport integral protein) or Active transport (is the movement of molecules across a membrane from low concentration to high concentration, against the concentration gradient) depends on the need of the cell. Glucose is a 6 carbon sugar molecules which is too large to pass through cell membrane, so it is transported by active transport and Facilitated diffusion.

Tight junction prevent the movement of molecules through the space present between plasma membrane of adjacent cell, so the movement of the molecules enter the cell via diffusion or active transport.

Why is it important for a animal like a jellyfish to immobilize its prey?
NARA [144]
A jellyfish is a type of creature known as a Coelenterata. That’s a fancy term to say it lives only in the ocean where the weight of the water can support it’s very delicate outer membranes or its “skin”. Jellyfish like to eat small marine creatures such as fish. If they couldn’t immobilize their prey, the fish could easily kill the jellyfish by thrashing around and ‘popping’ the jellyfish like you can on a beach.

Using the terms hypertonic and hypotonic, describe the osmotic relationships of the solution within the dialysis bag versus the
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

By osmosis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane, the water passes through the membrane, which means that the water moves from high osmotic pressure / concentration regions to low pressure / concentration regions to a stable state. Thus, water moves from hypotonic regions (low solute concentration) to hypertonic regions (high solute concentration).
