What else can I help you with?
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.
Is the movement of particles from an area of low concentration to high concentration an active or passive process?
The movement of particles from an area of low concentration to high concentration is an active process.
Is the movement of water in a hypertonic solution from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Does endocytosis go from a high to low or low to high concentration?
Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in materials from their environment by engulfing them. It does not involve the movement of substances from a high to low or low to high concentration; it simply involves the uptake of materials into the cell.
How does the liver contribute to the regulation of glucose levels in the blood?
The liver helps regulate glucose levels in the blood by storing excess glucose as glycogen when levels are high and releasing glucose into the bloodstream when levels are low. It also helps convert other substances into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
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.
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.
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)
Why does the rate of diffusion taper off with higher amounts of glucose?
The rate of diffusion tapers off with higher amounts of glucose due to the principle of concentration gradient. As the concentration of glucose increases, the gradient between areas of high and low concentration decreases, resulting in slower diffusion rates. This is because diffusion is driven by the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, and as the concentration levels equalize, the rate of diffusion decreases.
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
Is the movement of particles from an area of low concentration to high concentration an active or passive process?
The movement of particles from an area of low concentration to high concentration is an active process.
Is the movement of water in a hypertonic solution from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
