What is used to transport glucose across the cell membrane of certain cells?
frutose
Which protein is responsible for transport of glucose across cell membrane?
A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.
Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?
Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.
What are the three examples of molecules that a cell would want to be able to move effectively across its membrane?
Oxygen: Cells need oxygen for cellular respiration and energy production. Oxygen moves across the cell membrane through passive diffusion to reach the mitochondria. Glucose: Glucose is a vital source of energy for cells. It requires transport proteins, such as glucose transporters, to move efficiently across the cell membrane. Water: Water is crucial for various cellular processes. It moves across the membrane through specialized channels called aquaporins, allowing cells to regulate their hydration levels and maintain homeostasis.
How does active transport of glucose cause osmosis?
Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.

Where does a Electron Transport Chain happen?
In aerobic respiration, electron transport occurs inside the mitochondria. In photosynthesis, electron transport occurs inside the chloroplasts.
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.
How is the inner membrane of the mitochondria adapted to its function?
The mitochondrial inner membrane forms internal compartments - within the organelle - known as cristae, which allow greater space for the proteins such as cytochromes to function correctly. Also, the electron transport chain is located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria and within the mitochondrions inner membrane are also transport proteins that transport in a highly controlled manner metabolites across this membrane.

What happens when electrons are passed the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by?
Large molecules such as glucose that cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through transport proteins by active transport. Active transport uses energy to move molecules the bilayer.
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.

Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.
What happens when electrons are transported down the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
