Large numbers of which organelle would be present in a cell that actively transports a lot of glucose across its membrane?
JkNeddi
Active transport requires energy. Energy is released as a result of respiration, and respiration takes place in mitochondria. So major sites of active transport, such as kidney nephrons and villi in the small intestine need relatively large number of these organelles.

Why does glucose pass through the membrane faster then mannose and galactose?
There are glucose carriers in the plasma membrane
Which organelle has a semi permeable membrane and separates the cell from it's environment?
The cell membrane (or plasma membrane) shows semi-permeability. In short some substances, such as gases and small electrically-neutral molecules CAN pass, while others like glucose and other large polar molecules CANNOT pass. Although glucose and other large polar molecules cannot pass through the semi-permeable cell membrane, they may enter through the interior of transport proteins.
Glucose molecules cross the cell membrane by means of?
The answer is that glucose crosses a semi-permiable membrane by the process of facilitated diffusion. It cannot be by osmosis, because osmosis is the moving of only water from a concentration of high to low.
What organelle in the plant cell makes glucose from sunlight?
the chloroplast
What organelle is needed to break glucose in cellular respiration?
the mitochondria :)
What double membrane organelle makes glucose?
mitochondria
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.

It transports the glucose through transport proteins.
How simple diffusion can be distinguished from facilitated diffusion?
simple diffusion transports smaller molecules like oxygen and water while facilitated diffusion transports larger molecules like glucose and requires energy
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 transports form of cabohydrates?
Carbohydrates are transported throughout the body in the form of glucose. Glucose is carried in the blood by two main methods:Simple Diffusion: This is when glucose molecules move along their concentration gradient meaning they move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.Active Transport: This is when glucose is actively transported across the cell membrane from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration with the help of special proteins called transporters.These two methods of glucose transportation are essential for the body to maintain its proper functioning as glucose is the primary source of energy for all cells in the body.
What part of blood transport glucose?
Blood transports glucose through our nerve system and also through the red blood cells.Glucose is transported to the cells by a uni porter. It passes through the erythrocytes membrane (red cell membrane) and as soon as it enters, it is turned into a chemical and/or a source for energy.
What organelle uses glucose?
Mitochondria
What organelle is part of selectively permeable?
It is based on the structure of the cell membrane, which has proteins and lipids in it that make some substances impermeable to the membrane, often based on slight electrical charges and sometimes by size of the molecule or other chemical properties. Some substances require an enzyme or hormone to cross the barrier of the cell membrane, such as binding sites on cell membranes that will not allow glucose into the cell unless insulin binds with the sites, which forms a chemical bridge to allow glucose molecules to pass through the cell membrane into the cell. Without the insulin, the cell membrane is impermeable to glucose.
Why does glucose pass through the membrane faster then mannose and galactose?
There are glucose carriers in the plasma membrane
What cell organelle makes glucose?
sperm
Why does the heart keep all your tissues alive?
the heart keeps your tissues alive because it pumps blood which transports oxygen to the cell organelle called mitochondrion which uses oxygen and glucose to make ATPs. without ATP, you will die.
