Best Answer

A cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment by having more protein carriers. This will facilitate diffusion of the glucose into the cell.

How can a cell that consumes glucose speed up its intake of glucose from the environment?

If there are more carrier proteins, more glucose can enter the cell. This is because the glucose enters the cell through facilitated diffusion.


What form of transport is used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose?

active uptake, which requires energy and protein carriers in membranes

What happens if an animal cell is anaerobic?

Efficiency will be reduced.Have to intake much glucose.


Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex


How insulin signals a cell to take in glucose from the blood?

The insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of muscle or liver cells. This opens up little holes in the cell membrane called glucose transporters. Glucose flows through the glucose transporter due to the concentration gradient of glucose being higher in the extracellular environment. This is called diffusion. The membrane only stays permeable (open) to glucose so long as there is insulin bound to the receptors on the cell surface. Eventually the insulin is released and the glucose transporter closes. The cell then starts to digest the glucose via complicated processes called glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.

If the concentration of glucose is higher inside the cell than the cell then outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)


There is a need for glucose inside a cell but the glucose molecule is too large to pass through the cell membrane. How does the cell solve this problem?

It transports the glucose through transport proteins.
