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.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A. X, because organism X has the same role as the grasshopper</em>

Explanation:

In a food chain or a food web, a primary producer can be described as an organism which feeds on producers. The producers, in this case, are the corn stalks. Grasshoppers are primary consumers in this food web because they feed on the corn stalks. X is also a primary producer, just like grasshopper, because it feeds on the corn stalks which are the producers. Hence, option A is correct.
