Does glucose enter cells through cell membrane or mitochondria?

Glucose is diffused through facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane. It is oxidised by glycolysis in the cytoplasm and then the products either go through the mitochondria if oxygen is present or goes through fermentation in the cytosoplasm if no oxygen.

Does procariots have mitochondria?
No, prokaryotes do not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, which are more complex than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes generate energy through other means, such as through the plasma membrane or specialized membrane structures called mesosomes.
What organelle is responsible for conserving ATP in aerobic respiration?
In all cells, there are membrane enclosed organelles called Mitochondria, which produce ATP and glucose.
What are the three examples of molecules that a cell would want to be able to move effectively across its membrane?
Oxygen: Cells need oxygen for cellular respiration and energy production. Oxygen moves across the cell membrane through passive diffusion to reach the mitochondria. Glucose: Glucose is a vital source of energy for cells. It requires transport proteins, such as glucose transporters, to move efficiently across the cell membrane. Water: Water is crucial for various cellular processes. It moves across the membrane through specialized channels called aquaporins, allowing cells to regulate their hydration levels and maintain homeostasis.
Is mitochondria only in eukaryotic cells?
Yes. Mitochondria are only present in eukaryotic cells where they are the sites of aerobic respiration and ATP production. In prokaryotic cells such as bacteria, respiration occurs on infolds in the plasma membrane called mesosomes.
Mitochondria differ from chloroplasts in that mitochondria?
The Mitochondria breaks down glucose to get ATP, while the Chloroplast is in plant cells and is responsible for Glucose production which is often stored in the form of starch.

Where is glucose in plant cells?
The mitochondria if I'm correct.
Which organelle is responsible for providing energy to the cells?
Mitochondria converts the glucose into energy !.

What organelles that have a double membrane?
Nucleus Mitochondria
How do your cells get oxygen glucose and the raw materials that they need to respire?
Your cells get oxygen and glucose through protein channels located on their cell membrane the phospholipid bilayer surrounding a cell.
What do eukaryotic cells all have?
A membrane bound nucleus containing the genetic material and membrane bounf organelles.
How do cells get engry?
a cell gets energy from the mitochondria when it use the glucose and the mitochondria changes it into energy
What are chemical messengers that pass through the plasma membrane of cells and have receptor molecules in the cytoplasm?
mitochondria

The Mitochondria breaks down glucose to get ATP, while the Chloroplast is in plant cells and is responsible for Glucose production which is often stored in the form of starch.
