How does Glucose get into the cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
3 0

Glucose gets into the cells through a process called facilitated diffusion. This is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy supplies and so it is called passive transport. The carrier proteins bind to  glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from outside of the cell membrane and into the cell.

(a) glucose is important because it is the primary source of energy for the cell.

(b) Glucose is  6 - carbon monomer of  starch. It is a sugar.

(c) Glucose is broken down to pyruvate through the process of glycolysis.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

With media exposing a lot of water companies day by day, the concerns related to bottled water are increasing at a high rate.

In some cases, it has been proved that bottled water is actually tap water. Some other cases prove that bottled water companies draw underground water and transport it away without testing of the water. Ground source of water might be considered to have pure water but it still can have mud of infectious agents. Hence, it should be properly tested before sending them to the market.
