Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei

ns that transport glucose against its concentration gradient. These proteins couple the movement of glucose to the movement of sodium down its concentration gradient. Red blood cells have transporter proteins embedded in their membranes. When bound by a glucose molecule, these proteins change shape and allow glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Based on this information, what type of transport is used for glucose in blood and intestinal cells?
A.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.
B.
Blood cells take in glucose by active transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.
C.
Blood cells take in glucose by passive transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.
D.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Plasma membrane has different transport proteins that transport large, polar and charged molecules that cannot be passed through hydrophobic membrane.

In intestinal cells, glucose is transported against its concentration gradient (from higher to lower concentration), with the help of transporters. It is known as active transport as energy is required for uphill transport (against the concentration) of glucose.

In blood cells, glucose is transported along with its concentration gradient (from higher to lower concentration) by carrier proteins. It is known as passive transport as no energy is required for the downhill (along the concentration) transport of glucose.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The correct answer is - No.

The Cambrian explosion is a term used for the big and rapid diversification of the animal species, but it is not the period in which the animal life started. The animal life started in the period between 620 and 550 million years ago, in what is known as the Vendian Period. In the Vendian Period, the first complex animal organisms appeared, started to develop and evolve, though it is not a period where there was a high diversification of the species. The later Cambrian Period provided better living conditions, and that resulted in a so called ''explosion of life'', which resulted in much more new species developing and evolving.

dsp73

Students hypothesized that adding lactose to a sixth test tube would produce the greatest amount of carbon dioxide.

This is because lactose is a sugar molecule that is the food source for the yeast.

Fermentation is a metabolic pathway that occurs anaerobically, meaning in the absence of oxygen (O2). It includes the process of glycolysis with some extra reactions which make alcohol.
