Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration
Does glucose enter a cell by active transport?
GLUT1 is a passive protein transport. Glucose with GLUT1 can only be transported from high to low concentration. With the sodium - glucose symporter it's possible to transport glucose from low to high concentration.
Movement of molecules from high high to low concentration?
Movement of molecules 4m higher to lower concentration is called osmosis
What is is diffusion?
water movement from high of concentration to low concentration of water
What is the name of the process where there is a movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until they are evenly distributed?
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the movement of monomers from high to low?
what is the movment of monomers from high to low
How does glucose and insulin affect hunger?
If insulin is low and glucose is high, you will feel hungry
What are healthy blood glucose levels?
Well, a healthy level of blood glucose wouldn't be too high or too low. Instead, it would be in the middle between high and low. Unhealthy levels of blood glucose would be an extremely high number.
Why is it important that glucokinase have a high km?
High km, low affinity for glucose means that the liver and will only take up glucose during times of high blood glucose levels (Glycogen and FA synthesis)
Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration
The movement of particles from areas of high concetration to areas of low concetration is called?
Active transport usually involves the movement of particles from high to low concentration.
How do high tide and low tide happen?
low tide in the night high tide in the day
What is the glucose sensor in B-cells Why?
glucokinase. glucokinase has a high km(low affinity for glucose) so glucokinase only phosphorylates glucose when blood glucose is high, such as after a meal. As such, it makes sense that this would be sensor for B-cells
What is the movement of materials from low to high concentrations?
diffusion
What is the movement of particles from low pressure to high?
Osmolosis
Does glucose enter a cell by active transport?
GLUT1 is a passive protein transport. Glucose with GLUT1 can only be transported from high to low concentration. With the sodium - glucose symporter it's possible to transport glucose from low to high concentration.
What does the glucose meter read?
A glucose meter reads the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. This is particularly important for those who suffer from certain types of diabetes, where their glucose levels get either dangerously low or high.
