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.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Light brown colour will be appear.

Explanation:

If the rabbit raised at 20 c then the rabbit gain brown colour because the pigment which is responsible for the dark colour does not work due to increase in temperature. Enzymes are those substances which speedup the chemical reaction so when the temperature becomes higher, the enzyme did not function properly and the colour pigment gives light brown colour to the rabbit.

What is the probability that a seed from a parent plant of genotype Rr will carry the r gene

daser333 [38]

The answer is 50 percent.

Parent plant of genotype Rr will in meiosis produce haploid gametes which will carry either R allele or r allele. Since there are only two possibilities R or r, the probability that seed will get r gene is 1 of 2. This can be presented as 1/2, which is 50%.
