How does Glucose get into the cell?

1 answer:

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.

You are studying a disorder that is based on the genetic composition at three loci. Assume that a dominant allele at any locus a

kramer

Answer:

28 units

Explanation:

This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.

Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =

(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4

= 28 units

A trilobite. Trilobites became extinct about 250 million years ago while a ammonite became extinct around the same time as dinosaurs(65 million years ago). You wouldn't find a human skull or a dinosaur footprint

How do the structures of the cardiac muscle and skin tissue support their functions within the body? (Hint: Think about

zysi [14]

Answer:

The structure of the cell is very much linked with the functions of the cell.The cardiac muscle is made of myocardium which serves the body by providing the blood, nutrients and oxygen.The cardiac muscles appears stripped when seen under microscope.

The skin consists of the tissues and cells which are close enough to create a boundary which does not allows the entry of materials and pathogens inside the body.

Hence, the function and the morphology of the cells are somewhere related to each other.
