through the plasma membrane
What else can I help you with?
Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?
glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex
How can a cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment?
A cell can speed up its intake of glucose from the environment by increasing the number of glucose transporters on its cell membrane. This allows more glucose molecules to enter the cell at a faster rate. Additionally, the cell can increase its energy consumption to create a higher demand for glucose, driving the need for faster uptake.
The movement of glucose into a cell against a concentration gradient is most likely to be accomplished by what?
Active transport, specifically through a protein pump such as the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT). This process requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What cell does glucose partly break down in?
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
What cell is most dependent on a supply of glucose is?
wat cell is most dependent on glucose
Does glucose enter or leave a cell?
Glucose enters a cell through facilitated diffusion using glucose transporters on the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, glucose is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
Mitochondria are needed for the cell to transport glucose across the cell membrane into the blood what is the method that the cell uses to do this?
Mitochondria are not directly involved in transporting glucose across the cell membrane. Glucose transport into the cell is primarily facilitated by glucose transport proteins located on the cell membrane. These transport proteins utilize concentration gradients to move glucose into or out of the cell as needed.
In order for a cell to obtain glucose in a culture he concentration of glucose must be?
In order for a cell to obtain glucose in a culture, the concentration of glucose must be higher outside the cell than inside. This concentration gradient allows for passive transport mechanisms, such as facilitated diffusion, to occur, enabling glucose to enter the cell. If the external glucose concentration is too low, the cell may struggle to uptake sufficient glucose for energy and metabolism. Therefore, maintaining an adequate glucose concentration in the culture medium is crucial for optimal cell growth and function.
If the concentration of glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell what will happen?
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)
There is a need for glucose inside a cell but the glucose molecule is too large to pass through the cell membrane. How does the cell solve this problem?
It transports the glucose through transport proteins.
What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
How does glucose get from the intestine to a calf muscle?
The glucose goes through the intesine wall, into the blood and is carried around until it reaches the calf muscle cells. Once there it will taken in the cells by carrier proteins which are embedded in the cell membrane (this is because it is not lipid soluable and can't not simply go through the cell membrane like water, oxgen, carbon dioxide etc). The glucose will then be used the mitondria in the cell.
