If the concentration of glucose is higher inside the cell than the cell then outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)


Why can 18 times as much ATP be generated from glucose in the presence of oxygen than when oxygen in not available?

The Krebs Cycle and ETC enable the cell to produce 34 more ATP molecules per glucose. The 62 percent of the total energy of glucose that is not used to make ATP molecules is released as heat.


Does glucose move into the sac?

If you have a semipermeable sac containing 4 percent NaCl, 9 percent glucose, and 10 percent albumin is suspended in a solution with the following com- position: 10 percent NaCl, 10 percent glucose, and 40 percent albumin. The glucose will move into a semi-permeable sac.

What is the result of diffusion and osmosis through nonliving membranes of sac 1 containing 40 percent glucose suspended in 40 percent glucose?

The glucose was able to go through the sac. The glucose went from high concentration to low concentration. The glucose is permeable.

What percentage by weight of triglyceride molecule can be converted to glucose?

The glycerol backbone. The glyceol backbone undergoes metabolism to become glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is one of the reactants in glycolysis. Two molecules of G3P becomes one molecule of glucose in a process that is the reverse of glycolysis called gluconeogenesis.

If 2 percent glucose solution and 5 percent glucose solution are separated by a semipermiable menbrane flows from the 2 percent glucose solution to the 5 percent glucose solution?

Yes, during process of osmoses the solvent from higher concentration to lower concentration moves through semipermeable membrane, the 2% solution has lower concentration of solute therefore higher concentration of solvent.
