How is the reduction of plasma alanine concentration caused by gluconeogenesis?
Alanine is the major gluconeogenic amino acid. Plasma alanine is used to make glucose in the liver (Glucose-Alanine Cycle), and thus when this occurs plasma alanine concentration is decreased.
What best describes the Na and K concentrations across a neuron's plasma membrane?
The Na concentration is higher outside of the neuron's plasma membrane, while the K concentration is higher inside the neuron's plasma membrane. This creates an electrochemical gradient that allows for the generation and transmission of electrical signals in neurons.
Where is glucose in your body?
You have very little glucose in your body. It is distributed through out the plasma and interstitial fluid. (That is 14 litres.) The glucose concentration in your plasma is about 80 to 120 mg per 100 ml. You can make out for the total 14 litres of extracellular compartment of 14 litres. That comes to about 11 to 17 grams only.
Why are concentration gradients important for organisms?
Since the microorganism expels water, this signifies that the salt concentration outside the plasma membrane has a higher salt concentration than the interior - the plasma membrane is selectively permeable and therefore will exchange water with its surroundings (either influx or outflux) in order to stabilize the osmotic gradient.
Why is the concentration of glucose the same in plasma and glomerular filtrate?
well u see it just is so stop doin ure hwk and do something worrth ding like having a fap
1 Plasma blood glucose is higher than whole blood glucose by what percentage?
i know it's higher than corresponding blood glucose concentration from 10 - 15%
Whenever the plasma glucose concentration exceeds the renal plasma threshold?
it shows in urine.

What are the types of fluids?
Plasma, Lymph, interstitial Fluid and cerebrospinal fluid.
Does concentration of plasma sodium ions affect the blood osmotic pressure?
yes, the higher number of plasma sodium ions the greater the osmotic pressure.

Red blood cells contain a higher concentration of potassium than the surrounding blood plasma does This higher concentration is maintained by the process of?
4, Active Transport. this is the question from castel learning.
What is the main type of carbohydrate in blood plasma?
glucose
What is the name for the movement of water access the plasma membrane?
The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. Water moves from where it is in higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive transport and does not require any energy expenditure by the cell.
What is the substance that surrounds the brain and is very similar to blood plasma minus proteins?
cerebrospinal fluid
List the fluid compartments that could be defined as extracellular?
Interstitial fluid, plasma, and transcellular fluid.
