How does insulin bind to cells and the mechanism involved in triggering the cells to take in glucose

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR,  causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.

A 5 mole sample of liquid acetone is converted to a gas at 75.0°C. If 628 J are required to raise the temperature of the liquid
velikii [3]
The total energy required for this conversion is equivalent to the sum of the energies that are used. There are three steps:

1) Heating of liquid acetone
This used 628 J

2) Evaporation of acetone
This used 15.6 kJ or 15,600 J

3) Heating of acetone vapors
This used 712 J

Adding these quantities,

Total energy = 628 + 15,600 + 712

The total energy required was <span>16940 Joules of 16.94 kJ</span>
