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.

umka2103 [35]

Adaptations are what organisms do in order for them to survive and adapt to the environments that Mother Nature is presenting them.

1. Crocodiles - have tough and scaled skin that allows them to camouflage and catch prey in the water

2. Frogs - have developed bodily fluids that secrete poison to prevent predators from attacking them

3. Bats - have developed their echolocation to help them in hunting for food at night time.

4. Coelachants - have maintained their extra fins for sensory motor in the water

5. Lampreys - have maintained their tooth-funnel like mouths in order to feed on their hosts.
