How is process of active transport beneficial to human living system?
Substances can be moved from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, against the concentration gradient. Hence, it is useful for plants for absorbing mineral salts from the soil, reabsorption of useful substances back into the bloodstream in the kidney and such.
What is a example of a homeostasis?
The body's mechanism for maintaing a steady sugar level in the blood is an example of homeostasis.
How does co-transport work?
Basically Co-transport is the movement of molecules such as Glucose and Amino Acids into the epithelial cells lining the small intestine.This can be quite complicated to learn.In this case we'll look at Glucose :)There are three different protein carriers/channelszperiodzFirstly Sodium ions in the epithelium are taken actively out of the epithelium and into the blood by the sodium-potassium pump.This process is active transport as it uses ATP.This in turn causes the sodium ion concentration to lower.So there is a low concentration of sodium ions in the epithelium but a high concentration in the lumen of the small intestine. Therefore the sodium ions in the lumen can now diffuse down the concentration gradient and into the epithelium, however as they do they couple with Glucose molecules in the lumen and drag them into the epithelium with them.The protein channel used is the co-transport protein.There is now a high concentration of Glucose in the epithelium and a low concentration in the blood, therefore by Facilitated difussion the glucose molecules are taken into the blood :) Hope that helps !!
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
What Transport mechanism is used to remove glucose filtrate the enery needed for that purpose?
Active Transport
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 are ways to increase glucose transport?
1. increase the number of glucose carriers2. increase glucose concentration
How are glucose molecules moved into cell?
Glucose can move into cells by active or passive transport, in both cases membrane-spanning proteins are required. Active transport (SGLT) uses the concentration gradient of Sodium ions to move glucose against its concentration gradient. Passive transporters (GLUT) are only effective if the concentration of glucose in the cell is lower than outside the cell.
What type of transport supplies a cell with glucose?
thanks to: Bobama 08. question: what transport supplies a cell with glucose? answer: The passive transport supplies a cell with glucose. A passive transport is the diffusion of particles through the proteins. The particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The cell does not need to use any energy to make this happen. Whereas, an active transport is the movement of particles through proteins against the normal direction of diffusion. Particles are moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell must use energy to make this happen. This energy comes from the molecule ATP, which stores energy in a form that cells can use. Therefore, the passive cell transport supplies a cell with glucose.

The cell uses energy to transport glucose through the cell membrane?
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the type of transport in which a cell goes against the concentration gradient in order to diffuse substances within?
Active transport is used to move molecules and ions across a membrane against their concentration gradient. "Active" means that the transporter requires energy to do its job (eg. glucose).

What is the function of passive transport?
For molecular substances the cell needs such as glucose or proteins to enter the cell.
How do you find the glucose concentration of a solution?
Glucose concentration strips will work.
