When you eat a large meal and your body absorbs a lot of glucose and that makes its way to the interstitial fluid before going i
nto the cell. 100% of the glucose should be absorbed into the cell from the interstitial fluid. Why does nearly all of the glucose enter the cell, rather than only half of it? A) It is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than inside it.B) The cells make ATP so fast, they use up all the glucose as soon as it enters the cell.C) Insulin forces glucose into the cell against a concentration gradient.D) It is moved by active transport.
Answer:A. It is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than inside it
Explanation: The cells are the primary unit of a living organism,it is the place where cellular respiration takes place, which is the use of oxygen to break down food substances such as Glucose to release energy in the form of Adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) and give out Carbondioxide as a by-product of cellular respiration.
Most of the Glucose enter the cells to get modified through cellular respiration so their is still more Glucose outside than the Glucose inside.
