Answer:

B) It can remain, circulating in the blood indefinitely, this is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual.

Explanation:

Glucose is produced by breaking down carbohydrates, principally in the small intestine, when we eat a meal containing carbohydrates.This glucose enters the bloodstream.When glucose is in excess, the body stores it away in the form of glycogen in a process stimulated by insulin. Glycogen is a large highly branched structure, made from lots of glucose molecules linked together.Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles, therefore, excess glucose is removed from the blood stream and stored.

Insulin signals to the cell to translocate Glut 4 to the cell membrane, so that large amounts of glucose can be taken into the cell, via the Glut 4 transporters and converted into glycogen and used as a fuel for cellular activities. Furthermore with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

What happens to ordinary plants (not C 4 or CAM) when stomata close?
Rom4ik [11]
As humans plants also need oxygen to breathe they only take in carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis.So they wont do photosynthesis at night and so they only need to breathe. even though their stomata are closed at night some oxygen can go inside. and this is how plants breathe when their stomata are … Enzymes change carbon dioxide to glucose.

4. Did the complete process of photosynthesis take place in the way you modeled it in this activity? Explain your answer.
Dafna1 [17]
Well I dont know exactly how you modeled your model in this activity (also, I notice this is a question from 2016), but I do know the two processes.

This is the process of making glucose in plants. Photosynthesis goes through two individual stages:  
Stage 1: L<span>ight dependent reaction</span> (depends on the presence of light; it can’t happen in the dark) 
Stage 2: Light independent (dark reaction) (works in the absence of light, but calling it a dark reaction might be misleading; It can just as well happen in the presence of light).

Carbohydrate residues attached to the membrane lipids are always positioned on the extracellular side of the membrane

Carbohydrates are significant parts of the cell membrane, present just on the external surface of the plasma layer, and are appended to proteins, framing glycoproteins, or lipids, and framing glycolipids. These carbohydrate chains might comprise 2-60 monosaccharide units and can be either straight or branched.

The carbohydrates of the membrane are engaged with cell bond and acknowledgment and go about as a physical barrier. Enormous, uncharged particles, for example, glucose can't diffuse through the membrane.

These carbohydrates structure particular cell markers, that permit cells to perceive one another. These markers are vital in the resistant framework, permitting safe cells to separate between body cells, which they shouldn't assault, and unfamiliar cells or tissues, which they ought to.
