How does glucose enter the cell.

Biology
1 answer:
lesya [120]2 years ago

Glucose enters most cells by facilitated diffusion. There seem to be a limiting number of glucose-transporting proteins. The rapid breakdown of glucose in the cell (a process known as glycolysis) maintains the concentration gradient.

Growth hormone and insulin are protein hormones that regulate carbohydrate metabolism by hepatocytes (liver cells) through the a
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The data from the experiment support the claim that the similar regulation of carbohydrate metabolism  by hepatocytes occurs when the cells are treated with growth hormone or insulin results from the activation of different signaling pathways

Explanation:

If we take a look on the graph, it shows increase in the phosphorylated protein when the growth hormone or insulin is applied to the cells with the passage of time. At  15 minutes , it reaches to its highest level but after 15 minutes of addition of growth hormone and insulin, the level of phosphorylated protein decrease when the time exceeds from 15 minutes to 240 minutes. So it is concluded that growth hormones or insulin increase the level of phosphorylated protein.

Suppose an alkane had 8 carbon atoms. How many hydrogen atoms would it have? a. 18 atoms c. 10 atoms b. 16 atoms d. 12 atoms
Delvig [45]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

The aerobic system of energy production uses glycogen, but primarily ______ as its energy source?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]


The aerobic system of energy production uses glycogen, but primarily glucose  as its energy source.

Glucose is taken in by the cell and broken into pyruvate in the process of glycolysis, the first step in aerobic cell respiration. It takes place in the cell cytoplasm.

Pyruvate is then used in the Krebs cycle in the cell mitochondria in the second step of respiration which produces high energy electron carriers. These high energy electron carries such as NADP are then employed in the electron transport chain, the last step of the respiration process, where a large number of ATP molecules is produced.

By the time the process of aerobic respiration ends, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one single molecule of glucose.
