How do transport proteins work?
They are used in Facilitated Diffusion, helping to transport ions, macromolecules, and other substances incapable of entering a cell by themselves to cross through the plasma membrane of the cell.
What are ways to increase glucose transport?
1. increase the number of glucose carriers2. increase glucose concentration
How is most glucose transported into cells?
Passive transport is the kind of movement Êwhen glucose enters a liver cell through a protein channel. It does not require an input of chemical energy being driven by the growth of entropy in the system.Ê
Does glucose need a transport protein?
Depends if it goes into the cell or out of the cell whether it is passive or active. Yes.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Mitochondria are needed for the cell to transport glucose across the cell membrane into the blood what is the method that the cell uses to do this?
Mitochondria are not directly involved in transporting glucose across the cell membrane. Glucose transport into the cell is primarily facilitated by glucose transport proteins located on the cell membrane. These transport proteins utilize concentration gradients to move glucose into or out of the cell as needed.
What is a molecule used by glucose as a piggyback into and out of the cell in the process of active transport?
The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.
What kind of transport is involved when water molecules flow into a more concentrated glucose solution?
The transport involved is osmosis, where water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in this case, into the more concentrated glucose solution.
How glucose transport into enterocyte membrane?
I am not sure i want to know aswell
What is used to transport glucose across the cell membrane of certain cells?
frutose
How does the gloucose get into the cells?
There are glucose transport proteins. Since there are fewer glucose particles in the cell (when compared to the fluid outside of cells), it is passive transport, which occurs naturally. The transport protein is necessary for the glucose to pass through the cell membrane.
Which protein is responsible for transport of glucose across cell membrane?
A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.
Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?
Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.
There is a need for glucose inside a cell but the glucose molecule is too large to pass through the cell membrane How does the cell solve this problem?
The cell solves this problem by using transport proteins called glucose transporters. These transporters serve as gateways in the cell membrane, allowing glucose molecules to pass through into the cell. This process is facilitated by protein channels that specifically recognize and transport glucose molecules.
The cell uses energy to transport glucose through the cell membrane?
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Why oxygen molecules do not across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
What form of transport is used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose?
Facilitated diffusion is the transport process used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose. This process involves the use of protein channels or carriers to help glucose molecules pass through the membrane.
