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.

How many molecules in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3?
aliya0001 [1]

There are  20.5 x 10^24 molecules are present in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3.

<h3>How many molecules in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3?</h3>

We know that one mole of a substance has  6.022 × 10²³ molecules so in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3, we have 20.5 x 10^24 molecules if we multiply the  6.022 × 10²³ with 3.4.

So we can conclude that there are  20.5 x 10^24 molecules are present in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3.

An inflatable toy starts with 1.05 moles of air and a volume of 5.17 liters. When fully inflated, the volume is 8.00 liters. If
padilas [110]

Answer:-  1.62 moles

Solution:- At constant temperature and pressure, volume is directly proportional to the moles of the gas.

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

from given data, V_1 = 5.17 L, n_1 = 1.05 moles

V_2 = 8.00 L, n_2 = ?

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

\frac{5.17L}{8.00L}=\frac{1.05moles}{n_2}

On cross multiply:

n_2=\frac{8.00L(1.05moles)}{5.17L}

n_2 = 1.62 moles

So, now the toy contains 1.62 moles of the air.
