Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores, thus requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily which corresponds to an energy input of 420 kcal (1760 KJ), accounting for some 60% of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.
Answer:
1. Part A: No
2. Part B: Yes
3: Part C : Yes
4: Part D : No
Explanation:
1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:
No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose
2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:
Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.
3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:
Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.
4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine
No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.
Answer:
not sure but I think it's option C.
Answer:
What is the pressure on the Lithospheric Mantle? The density of the lithosphere varies depending on temperature, depth and age. At about 50 kilometers (30 miles) below the Earth's surface, density measurements reach 200,000 pounds per square inch (13,790 bars)
