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.

Which statement distinguishes the light-dependent (L-D) reaction from the light-independent (L-IND) reaction?
Alja [10]


The correct answer is  (a).

Both L-D and L-IND reactions take place in the chloroplast of the cell but in different parts or locations. L-D reactions take place in the chloroplast thylakoids while L-IND reactions take place in the chloroplast stroma.

Chloroplasts are chlorophyll- filled organelles mostly found in the leaves of green plants.  Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane called the thykaloid membrane that forms long folds within the organelle. In electron micrographs, the thykaloid membranes look like stacked coins. Chlorophyll is located within the thykaloid membranes.

Between the thykaloid  membrane and the chloroplast membrane is a space. This space is what is called the stroma.
