How does Glucose get into the cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]2 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.

Answer:

16) 6 electrons

17) 6 protons

18) 6 neutrons

19) 4 electrons

20) 6

Explanation:

There are 6 electrons on the rings in total and 6 protons inside the nucleus. If you count the black cir les, there are 6 of them so there are 6 neutrons. Knowing that the inner ring can only hold 2 electrons the most, 6-2= 4. So there are 4 electrons on the outer ring. Knowing that you can get the atomic number based on the number of protons an atom have, the at pool mic number would be 6.

The chemical energy of these plants all started with what energy source?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Sun(solar energy)

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy in our solar system.

The chemical energy in plants all started out with solar energy from the sun.

During the process of photosynthesis;

  • green plants manufactures their food using sunlight.
  • in the presence of this solar energy, they combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthetic reaction simply converts solar energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Almost all animals obtain their own energy needs from the plants converting the chemical energy into other forms of energy.
