What do red blood cells lose before they enter the blood stream?
their color
How do nutrients like glucose get to your cells?
After glucose enters the large intestine, it along with other nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. From the blood stream it is carried by red blood cells to all parts of the body, where the glucose enters the interstitial space and is absorbed into the cells through a process called Cooperative transport. It usually uses Na ions for this purpose.
How does insulin help glucose enter your blood cells?
Insulin helps glucose enter your blood cells by binding to insulin receptors on the cell membrane, which triggers a series of chemical reactions inside the cell that allow glucose to be transported from the bloodstream into the cell for energy production.
How does nutrients enter your blood stream?
through cells in the villi of the small intestine
How is digested food carried to your cells?
The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.
How does glucose normally enter the blood?
Glucose is normally absorbed into the blood through the small intestine after we consume carbohydrates in our diet. The glucose molecules are broken down during digestion and then transported across the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. Once in the blood, glucose is carried to cells throughout the body to provide energy.
What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
Can glass enter the bloodstream?
not really... the piece of glass should be as small as a glucose molecule to be able to get into the blood stream! :D
What is leukemia made from?
Leukemia is basically bad blood cells formed in the bone marrow that do not allow healthy blood to enter the blood stream.
5 percent glucose solution is isotonic for red blood cell if red blood cell are kept in 2 percent glucose solution what will happen to the cells. what such a solution called?
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.
What is one of the roles of the pancreas in nutrition?
The pancreas produces the naturally occurring hormone Insulin which acts as a messenger to carry glucose into the cells. Cells cannot function properly without glucose, and glucose cannot enter cells without insulin. Without insulin, glucose will stay in the blood stream rather than disperse into the cells and cause kidney problems, vision problems, and high infection susceptibility.
What molecule movement is when glucose leave your blood streem and enter your cells by attaching to specialized carrier proteins?
Facillitated diffusion
