Do any cells in the population express Glut4 on their surface? Is this expression dependent on the presence of insulin receptor?

Answer:

Glut4 is only expressed in insulin-sensitive skeletal an heart muscles and fat tissues.  

Explanation:

Glucose transporters represent a group of integral membrane proteins that allow the transport of glucose molecules across the plasma membrane by the mechanism of facilitated diffusion (i.e., without direct coupling to ATP hydrolysis). In humans, the Glucose Transporter type 4 (GLUT-4) is a glucose transporter encoded by the SLC2A4 gene. This protein plays a critical role in regulating glucose homeostasis by enabling to increase the transport of glucose in response to elevated blood insulin levels in adipocytes, skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues.

A sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar. Which of the foll
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.

Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.

C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.

Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.
