What membrane components is involved in glucose transport?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_membrane_components_is_involved_in_glucose_transport"
How is most glucose transported into cells?
Passive transport is the kind of movement Êwhen glucose enters a liver cell through a protein channel. It does not require an input of chemical energy being driven by the growth of entropy in the system.Ê
What are ways to increase glucose transport?
1. increase the number of glucose carriers2. increase glucose concentration
What type of molecules insulin?
Insulin is a hormone released by the beta cells in your pancreas, when there is glucose (sugar) in your blood. Insulin goes through the blood stream and basically tells the cells of the body that there is glucose in the blood stream. and the cells respond to it by stopping glucagon breakdown, start making glucagon, taking up glucose into the cells with glucose transporters. A hormone is a molecule that is released in one part of the body, but works in another.
Transport protein that provides a tubelike opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse?
Channel Protein.
What is a molecule used by glucose as a piggyback into and out of the cell in the process of active transport?
The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.
How does the gloucose get into the cells?
There are glucose transport proteins. Since there are fewer glucose particles in the cell (when compared to the fluid outside of cells), it is passive transport, which occurs naturally. The transport protein is necessary for the glucose to pass through the cell membrane.
What is a sentence with the word permease in it?
The carrier protein for the facilitated transport of glucose is called a permease.
Does glucose enter a cell by active transport?
GLUT1 is a passive protein transport. Glucose with GLUT1 can only be transported from high to low concentration. With the sodium - glucose symporter it's possible to transport glucose from low to high concentration.
What membrane components is involved in glucose transport?

What are the functions of the sodium pump?
1. Regulation of cell volume. 2. Secondary Active Transport. 3. Sodium glucose Transport protein. 4. Heat Production.
Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?
Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.
Is glucose the smallest type of protein?
Glucose is not a protein, it is a carbohydrate.
A specific protein that recognizes certain molecules bringing them across the membrane?
The protein you are referring to is likely a transporter protein, which is responsible for facilitating the transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane. These transporter proteins bind to their target molecules on one side of the membrane and undergo a conformational change to transport the molecules to the other side. Examples include glucose transporters and ion channels.
What form of transport is used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose?
Facilitated diffusion is the transport process used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose. This process involves the use of protein channels or carriers to help glucose molecules pass through the membrane.
Which protein is responsible for transport of glucose across cell membrane?
A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.
What Carrier Proteins Transport Glucose Into A Muscle Cell?
carrier proteins transport glucose into a muscle cell
