How do glucose biosensors work?
-enzyme immobilised(in biosensor ) -H+ ions released (from gluconic acid) -give positive charge -current flows -size of current proportional to concentration of H+/glucose -low reading (when blood tested) indicates,hypoglycaemia/ low blood glucose concentration. -Or reverse arguments.
What concentration of glucose causes glycosylation?
Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.
Where can i go to find stroke symptoms?
A blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood. Glucose comes from carbohydrate foods.Good food also good for strong health.
Where does the sugar in your blood come from?
Blood sugar comes from the foods you eat. Food is broken down into glucose in the digestion process
How are glucose molecules moved into the cell and what transport is this?
Glucose molecules are moved into the cell via facilitated diffusion using glucose transporters located on the cell membrane. These transporters bind to glucose molecules and move them into the cell, following the concentration gradient.
How does the ACCU check glucose meters?
ACCU-CHEK glucose meters use test strips and a small blood sample to measure blood glucose levels. After inserting a test strip into the meter, a small drop of blood from a finger prick is placed on the strip. The meter then provides a digital reading of the blood glucose level within a few seconds.
How does muscle obtain oxygen?
well you all know that blood is really blue ,but once it hits air it turns red that's why when you get a cut ,before you had a cut the blood was blue , but once the blood comes out and it absorbs the air it turns red.So with that said when the blood circulates in the muscle the blood is red and full of oxygen so the blood gives the muscle oxygen every time blood passes through it keeps giving the muscle oxygen 24/7<3
What is the journey of a red blood cell from the heart to the leg muscle?
it goes to the heart comes out then goes to the lungs and then through the body
What is your body main source of energy?
It is glucose. In response to the rise in blood-glucose levels (say) after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin which breaks down the glucose and carries it to cells that need extra energy.The glucose enters the cell by special molecules in the membrane called "glucose transporters". The cells that need glucose have specific insulin receptors on their surface so that insulin can bind to them, encouraging glucose entry and utilization in the cells.Once inside your cells, the glucose is burned to produce heat and adenosine triphosyphate, (ATP) a molecule that stores and releases energy as required by the cell.The metabolism of glucose into energy may occur either in combination with oxygen (aerobic metabolism) or without it (anaerobic metabolism). The oxygen used comes from the mitochondria - tiny bodies inside the cell. However, red blood cells do not have mitochondria, so they change glucose into energy without the use of oxygen.Glucose is also converted to energy in muscle cells - who are probably the most important energy "customers". These muscle cells do contain mitochondria so they can process glucose with oxygen. But even if oxygen-levels in the muscle-cell mitochondria fall too low, the cells can proceed to convert glucose into energy without oxygen. Unfortunately, turning glucose into energy without oxygen produces the by-product lactic acid. And too much lactic acid makes your muscles ache.
Cells convert the energy from gluecose into?
Cells convert the energy from glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a series of chemical reactions in a process called cellular respiration. ATP is the primary molecule used by cells to store and transfer energy for various cellular functions.
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.
Specific rotation of glucose at 20 degrees Celsius?
i performed this experiment and it comes out around 60 (radians*100cm3/gm*dm) where length of polarimeter tube was 2 dm and concentration was varied from 40 gm/100cm3 to 20gm/100cm3
