There are three main uses of the glucose made by photosynthesis:
1) It can be used as a source of energy (in respiration)
2) It can be converted into starch and stored
3) It can be converted into other substances eg cellulose, fats, proteins etc.

How can a cell that consumes glucose speed up its intake of glucose from the environment?
If there are more carrier proteins, more glucose can enter the cell. This is because the glucose enters the cell through facilitated diffusion.
What happens to a cell when you add glucose?
Cell gain energy.
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?
it enters most rapidly by facilitated diffusion!!
What molecule enters glycolysis?
Glucose
How would sugar entering a cell that already contains a high concentration of sugar get through a cell membrane and into the cell?
Glucose (sugar) enters the cell through facilitated diffusion, which is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area with low concentration through a protein channel. This happens passively (on its own, with no extra energy required).It does not matter what other particles are in the cell--- the GLUCOSE will enter it so long as there is a higher concentration of GLUCOSE outside the cell than inside.The protein channel is needed because glucose molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.

What is glucose called after it enters the cell?
it breaks down in the mitochondra
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
What controls how the body uses glucose or sugar?
the cell membrane controls everything that enters or leaves a cell
What happens to a cell when you add glucose?
Cell gain energy.
What happens to HIV when it enters the t cell?
it reproduces
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?
it enters most rapidly by facilitated diffusion!!
What happens to t cell once hiv enters them?
They are destroyed.
What happens to the t cell once HIV enters them?
They are destroyed.
What happens once glucose is phosphorylated?
Becomes trapped in the cell
What happens when water continually enters an animal cell?
due to hypo-osmosis cell breaks
During digestion what molecule enters the cell?
The goal of digestion is to break down food to the glucose level. Only then will it be absorbed into the cell and be used in respiration.
