This is a typical muscle cell, you the insulin receptor at the top of page within the membrane of the cell. That insulin receptor sends a signal over to the Glut 4 glucose channel in the membrane to the left of the insulin receptor in which sugers enter the cell. The insulin hormone also sends many signals all over the inside of the cells cytoplasm, and into the nucleus on the bottom of page where transcription of genes takes place. In this case a growth hormone is made from a gene, and that growth hormone regulates the insulin and thereby the uptake of glucose into the cell. A type of negative feedback inhibition loop system, so the cell doesn't get too much intake of suger. That growth hormone controls this from happening. David Hagert Researcher medical

5 percent glucose solution is isotonic for red blood cell if red blood cell are kept in 2 percent glucose solution what will happen to the cells. what such a solution called?
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.
What does faciliated diffusion mean?
It means that in order to cross a barrier, for example a cell membrane, a substance must have a facilitator substance to make it permeable to the barrier. For instance, glucose cannot enter cells unless insulin is present to facilitate the diffusion of glucose from blood to cell. Without the insulin, or with damaged insulin receptors on the cell membrane, the cell membrane remains impermeable to glucose and it cannot enter the cells, so it remains in the blood plasma. This is what causes diabetes.
How does glucose normally enter the blood?
Like most nutrients, glucose sugar is absorbed into the blood stream through the walls of the small intestine from the food one eats.
State two substances that pass into the blood?
Two substances that pass into the blood include oxygen and carbon dioxide. The blood carries fresh oxygen to the cells and tissues and removes waste materials.
What condition allows red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate?
Conditions which allow the red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate are renal infections, kidney infections, diabetes, hypothyroidism, jaundice, and Glomerulonephritis. The reasons of red blood cells entering the filtrate can be various and dangerous.
What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.

How does glucose enter cells from the blood stream?
Glucose is basically sugar so i would say by mouth.
What molecule movement is when glucose leave your blood streem and enter your cells by attaching to specialized carrier proteins?
Facillitated diffusion
What does insulin cause the liver to change glucose into?
Insulin causes the glucose in your blood to enter the cells for energy. It does not cause the liver to change glucose into anything. Your liver does, however, store extra sugar in the form of glucagon.
What blood cells enter infected cells?
White blood cells
What does 'villi' have to do with respiration?
Glucose is absorbed from the food in our small intestine. Inside the small intestine we have small finger like structures called villi. The glucose is absorbed by the villi. The glucose is absorbed (moves through) the villi and enter our blood system. Glucose is transported by our blood to all the cells in our bodies. Respiration takes place in our cells (in the mitochondria of cells). Respiration is where glucose (our bodies fuel) combines with oxygen (we breath in) to give us ENERGY, carbon dioxide and water.
How does blood enter a red blood cell?
Blood contains red blood cells. Red blood cells don't contain blood. Blood does not enter the red blood cell.

What effect does insulin have on sugar?
Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
What goes on in the patients body during diabetes?
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood - it is the principal source of fuel for our bodies. When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, and lowers the blood sugar level. A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements. thank you for your time- Vertigo1234554321 signing out
How is digested food carried to your cells?
The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.
