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.
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.
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.
What is the membrane called if other substances besides water oxygen carbon dioxide and glucose are blocked from entering?
A semi-permeable membrane. Does cross - membrane transit of glucose need active transport,
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.
Which vascular tissue is involved in the transport of starch found in fruit pulp?
Phleom is vascular tissue that is involved in the transport of starch found in fruit pulp.
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?
It transports the glucose through transport proteins.
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?
It transports the glucose through transport proteins.
How do glucose molecules cross a plasma membrane on the apical side of epithelial cells?
secondary active transport
