Glucose is an important biomolecule. Which of these statements is true regarding the movement of glucose into and out of cells?

A) Glucose, a small molecule, can diffuse between the phospholipids. B) Glucose requires both a membrane protein and ATP energy in order to enter or exit a cell. C) Glucose, a nonpolar molecule, can pass freely across the phospholipid bilayer from high to low concentration. D) Glucose is a large, hydrophilic molecule and must use a channel protein to enter or exit a cell, but does not require energy.

Answer:

D) Glucose is a large, hydrophilic molecule and must use a channel protein to enter or exit a cell, but does not require energy.

Explanation:

Glucose is a polar, large, and hydrophilic molecule that cannot easily diffuse the cell membrane. It moves across the membrane through a mechanism known as <u>facilitated diffusion</u>. In this process, a carrier protein attaches itself to glucose molecule and transport it without any use of ATP. Instead, the movement is driven by concentration gradient. An example is the diffusion of glucose in red blood cells.

vichka [17]

Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

  • <u>NUCLEUS PULPOSUS:</u>

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

  • <u>ANNULUS FIBROSUS:</u>

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>

From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.

Compare temperature and pressure conditions on the Earth's surface to those below the Earth's surface, and relate these conditio
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The temperature and pressure on the earth's surface is lower than that below the earth's surface. Generally, temperature and pressure increases as you move/dig down the earth's surface. This increase in temperature and pressure causes the earth's sediment (below the earth surface) to form a compact solid rock - this process is known as lithification.

A transcriptional repressor that controls the transcription of gene A is not normally active unless bound by an effector molecul
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Increase in transcription

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of forming RNA from DNA. It can be controlled by many factors like a repressor. Repressor can bind to the operator region of the promoter and hinder the movement of RNA Polymerase enzyme, halting the process.

Here, it is given that the repressor needs to first bind to an effector molecule X. Once it binds to X, it is activated and then it can bind to operator of gene A to inhibit its transcription. If the X binding domain on repressor is mutated it wont be able to bind to X. Thus it wont get activated and wont be able to attach to operator region to inhibit transcription. Hence, transcription process will keep going on uncontrolled.
