Question

The concentration of glucose in human blood plasma is maintained at about 5 mM. The concentration of free glucose inside a myocyte is much lower. Why is the concentration so low in the cell? What happens to glucose after entry into the cell?

Answer 1

Depending on what you've been learning in bio so far, the glucose is used in a process called glycolysis, which basically turns the glucose into ATP (Energy) which the cell can use.
