Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose, occurs only in the liver and the kidney cortex. The process begins in the mitochondria, but a majority of the biosynthetic reactions take place in the cytoplasm. The ultimate metabolite of the pathway produces glucose 6 phosphate, which is transported into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and converted into glucose via the enzyme Glucose 6 Phosphatase. (Glucose is maintained as Glucose 6 phosphate to prevent it escaping from the cell.)

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
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)
Glucose and no other sugar is transported into cells by protein carrier molecules in the cell surface membrane. How do carrier molecules specifically recognize glucose?
the receptors on the protein carrier recognise glucose allowing it to enter the cell :)
What is an example of molecules that diffuses out of a cell?
Water, sodium, potassium, glucose all diffuse in and out of the cell.
How are glucose molecules moved into a cell and what kind of transport is this?
by diffusion and passive transportation
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
What are the substances that the cell membrane does not allows to pass?
Usually Ions and charged molecules (salts dissolved in water), large polar molecules (glucose), and macromolecules.
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 oxygen molecules do not across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
Describe how glucose molecules enter a cell by facilitated diffusion?
protein
Why do molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass throught.

What explains why oxygen molecules diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass through.
Which will cause the process of cell respiration to stop?
No glucose molecules
How are glucose molecules moved Ino a cell?
The glucose goes in through the membrane and can in or out either ways.
How does a cell keep glucose from escaping without breaking down the molecule?
Compared to other more basic molecules, glucose is rather large. In order for glucose to enter the cell in the first place, the cell must actively transport it from outside the cell wall using special transport proteins. This is compared to a cell passively transporting molecules, where the molecules are small enough (or non polar) to pass through the cell membrane without any action from the cell itself.Once the glucose is in the cell, there is no way to get out.
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)
