The cells of the retina need glucose to get energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without glucose to the cells of the retina you can't see and the cells of the retina can't function.

What type of tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels?

Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.


What are the reactions of the light dependent reactions?

Glucose and Oxygen


Is glucose made during light-dependent or light-independent reactions?

Glucose is made during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.

Glucose


What are the 3 products of the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Oxygen, glucose, and ATP


What is the antidiabetics help to control high blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and by increasing insulin-dependent glucose uptake in muscle cells?

Biguanides


Is not a product of Light Dependent Reaction?

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis primarily produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen. Therefore, a product that is not generated during this process is glucose. Glucose is synthesized later in the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle.


In what way is the Calvin Cycle dependent on the first stage of photosynthesis?

The Calvin Cycle is dependent on the first stage of photosynthesis because it relies on the products of the light-dependent reactions, such as ATP and NADPH, to power the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose.


What Anatomy and physiology of diabetes?

Diabetes is a system wide disease, but the etiology of Type I (insulin dependent diabetes) is due to an autoimmune attack on the Beta-cells in endocrine pancreas that produce insulin. As the number of Beta cells decreases the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas is no longer sufficient to drive glucose uptake in the muscle and liver. The glucose accumulates in the blood until it reaches a concentration that is greater than what the kidneys can recover. The high levels of circulating glucose is associated with permanent damage to small blood vessels, damage to the retina and kidney failure.


Is dependent variable the variable that can't change?

Not exactly sure what you mean by "can't change." However, I if I do understand you correctly, the dependent variable CAN change. The dependent variable will change according to the independent variable's value and overall effect. For example, in an experiment involving water's effect on plants, the dependent variable may be the height of the plant or the glucose produced. Based on the amount of the independent variable (represented on the x axis of a data graph), the dependent variable will increase or decrease. In this case, both dependent values (glucose and height) would probably increase.


What is the main purpose of the light -dependent reactions?

To take in the energy from the sunlight to make glucose to store when there is not sunight. ( at night)
