When a cell secretes a hormone that is a form of?
In my biology class this specific questions was asked. A cell secretes a hormone through facilitated diffusion.
What hormone aids the diffusion of glucose across the cell membrane?
INSULIN
How does a nonsteroid hormone act on its target cells?
They bond to receptor sites on their target cells to facilitate some reaction, depending on the hormone. For example, insulin is a protein hormone that bonds on receptor sites on muscle cells to allow the diffusion of glucose into the muscle cell. Without insulin, the cell membrane is impermeable to glucose, but the insulin bridge made when the hormone bonds with receptors on the muscle cell membrane allows for the glucose to pass through. This is called facilitated diffusion.
Is glucose a hormone?
Glucose is a sugar.It is not a hormone.
What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
What happens during positive feedback loop?
During positive feedback loop, e.g. a gland activates a hormone and the hormone in turn activates the gland. After the hormone knows that it is being activated by the gland, the hormone signals the gland to produce more of the hormone. This is positive feedback loop.
What hormone is used for metabolism of glucose?
insulin hormone
Is glucose a hormone that regulates the body's production of insulin?
No, but insulin is a hormone that regulates the body's production of glucose.
Which hormone does not raise blood glucose concentration?
growrh hormone
What is hormone glucagon?
It is a hormone by pancreas.It increase blood glucose level.
Is growth hormone glucose sparing?
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
What is the hormone that signals the release of glucose out of storage?
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
