Cholesterol enters animal cells when the animal consumes and processes something that contains cholesterol. The cholesterol then enters through the cells permeable surface.

How does insulin open pores?
Once in the blood, insulin molecules can reach all the cells of the body. An insulin molecule is able to attach itself to the cell membrane of cells. When it does, one kind of pore opens. Sugar from the blood can then enter the cell through the open pore.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
-Human insulin does not cost as much as pig/animal insulin -Human insulin does not result in allergic reactions, such of insulin of an animal.
How does insulin transport glucose into cells?
Insulin is secreted via the pancreas when blood sugar is above normal, such as after eating a candy bar. The glucose from that candy bar needs to enter your cells to be stored for later. Think of insulin as the key for opening the door to the cell to let glucose in, without it, you couldn't use the energy from food, which is called diabetes. This is a way simplified version of what actually goes on in this cellular response but I hope it helped!
Where do nutrients enter the cell?
In animal cells, the cell membrane; and in plant cells, the cell wall.
What does insulin allow most of cells of the body to do?
Insulin allows cells to metabolize sugar.
What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
Why do glucose need insulin to enter cells?
Most cell membranes are NOT permeable to sugar unless insulin opens a channel.
Why is insulin so important to the body?
Insulin is important for the body because it helps glucose enter the body's cells. The glucose is then used for energy.
Which hormone causes glucose to enter tissue cells during the absorptive state of metabolism?
INSULIN
What is insulin used for?
The proper spelling is 'insulin', and it is used to treat diabetes. The insulin is needed to allow sugar from the blood stream to enter the cells in the body.
How does insulin open pores?
Once in the blood, insulin molecules can reach all the cells of the body. An insulin molecule is able to attach itself to the cell membrane of cells. When it does, one kind of pore opens. Sugar from the blood can then enter the cell through the open pore.
How does diabetes affect the organism?
well basically Diabetes effect our pancreas which either doesn't make enough insulin or no insulin. Insulin is needed for our cells to utilize glucose for energy. It is required for the glucose to enter into the cell. No insulin means the glucose stays in your bloodstream, which can cause many problems including death if not treated.
What is the name of the molecule that is proein hormone that tells animal cells to store blood glucose as glycogen?
Insulin
Do skin cells copy and translate an insulin gene into insulin protein?
Insulin is not produced by skin cells.
What effect does insulin have on sugar?
Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
-Human insulin does not cost as much as pig/animal insulin -Human insulin does not result in allergic reactions, such of insulin of an animal.
