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.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Promoter.

Explanation:

It is promoter because Promoter is a DNA sequence where's the gene transcription begins. It is the

DNA sequence which RNA polymerase binds or join to

so as to begin transcriptionn of a gene . It is a region where the regulatory elements i.e protein will bind to and the Promoter sequences are found directly upstream or at the end of 5' of the transcription initiation site. This can also encode RNA such as mRNA, trans and so on.
