What breaks down and provides the body with glucose?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
6 0

When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream.

What energy transfer takes place in a food web?
babunello [35]

Answer:

Animals - Plants - Energy

Plants gain energy through photosynthesis, which is then eaten by animals, which gets eaten by animals, etc.

Then, Animals die, and the energy is passed on to the soil, which passes to the plant.

The cell is taking in substances through membrane proteins, without any energy expenditure of its own. The substances naturally
Hitman42 [59]

The right answer is facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a diffusion mechanism facilitated by membrane transporters. it's the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions (like the passive diffusion) through a biological membrane through transport molecules (unlike passive diffusion). This process does not consume energy (like the passive diffusion) and therefore does not involve active transportation.

Sodium ions, oxygen (O2), and glucose pass directly through lipid bilayers at dramatically different rates. Which of the followi
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.

The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.

  • <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest. </em>
  • <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels. </em>
  • <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>

Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.
