What are ways to increase glucose transport?
1. increase the number of glucose carriers2. increase glucose concentration
Does a glucose test strip measure the amount of glucose or just presence of glucose?
Just the presence of glucose Just the presence of glucose
What is the molar concentration of a 0.9 percent glucose solution?
1% (presumably m/v) glucose solution would contain 1 g of glucose per 100 ml of solution. Therefore the conversion of 1 g / 100 ml to units of mol/L requires that we divide by the molar mass and multiply by the conversion factor of ml to L. Therefore: (1 g / 100 ml) * (1 mol / 180.16 g) * (1000 ml / 1 L) = 0.0555 M = 0.06 M.
What does the combination of two glucose molecules result in?
The reaction is a condensation reaction so in addition to the disaccharide water is also a product. N.B. glucose + glucose -> maltose + water (not sucrose) glucose + fructose -> sucrose + water
What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
What happens when the plasma glucose cocentration exceeds the renal plasma threshold?
It will cause the change of the alpha and beta cells
What is the renal threshold for glucose?
When the blood glucose level exceeds about 160 - 180 mg/dl (8.9 - 10 mmol/l), the proximal tubule becomes overwhelmed and begins to excrete glucose in the urine. This point is called the renal threshold of glucose (RTG) hope that this answer might help you and it is taken from wikipedia.
What is the blood glucose level above which glucose starts to appear in urine?
First of all, WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?But, whatever. The renal threshold, where glucose levels exceeds the capacity to return the glucose into the blood (glycosuria) is about 10 mmol/l (180 mg% ).
How high does the serum glucose have to be for the threshold for glucose to be achieved?
180
What is renal threshold of glucose?
Renal threshold is what happens when there is an overabundance of glucose in the body, the blood glucose levels will then get above 170mg/100ml (normal is 70mg/100ml).
How do you find the glucose concentration of a solution?
Glucose concentration strips will work.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
As the number of glucose carriers increase, the concentration of glucose in the urine will decrease. This is because more glucose is being reabsorbed by the kidneys back into the bloodstream, reducing the amount of glucose that gets excreted in the urine.
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
To calculate the concentration of glucose in blood using the Beer-Lambert law principle and glucose oxidase, you would typically measure the absorbance of a glucose solution with a spectrophotometer at a specific wavelength. The formula to calculate the concentration of glucose is: Glucose concentration (mg/dL) = (Absorbance - intercept) / slope Where the slope and intercept are obtained from a calibration curve using known concentrations of glucose.
How do you find the concentration of a solution?
Glucose concentration strips will work.
In order for a cell in a culture to obtain glucose the concentration of glucose must be?
In order for a cell in a culture to obtain glucose, the concentration of glucose must be higher outside the cell than inside. This concentration gradient allows for the process of diffusion, where glucose molecules move passively into the cell. Additionally, if the glucose concentration outside the cell is low, cells may require active transport mechanisms to uptake glucose against the gradient. Overall, maintaining an adequate external glucose concentration is crucial for cellular metabolism and energy production.
Is there the same concentration of glucose when blood goes into the muscle and when it comes out?
Muscle requires glucose, and so there is not the same concentration of glucose in blood entering and exiting a muscle. The exiting blood will be lower in glucose.
