All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.

What are the two substance found in greater concentration in the renal artery than in the renal vein?

Glucose and Amino acids because as the concentration of other waste products like urea and CO2 decreases so the CONCENTRATION of glucose and amino acids will increase. NOTE: Only the concentration will increase, that does not mean that their amount also increases


Is the concentration of amino acids and glucose higher in blood or in urine.?

The concentration of amino acids and glucose is typically higher in blood than in urine. In healthy individuals, the kidneys filter these substances from the blood, reabsorbing most of the amino acids and glucose back into the bloodstream. Consequently, only trace amounts of these nutrients are usually found in urine. Elevated levels in urine can indicate certain health conditions, such as diabetes or kidney dysfunction.


Which process are glucose and amino acids transported into cells?

Glucose is transported into cells through facilitated diffusion or active transport, depending on the concentration gradient. Amino acids are transported into cells through specific transporters in the cell membrane.


What amino acid is not present in glucose?

No amino acid is present in glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate, not a protein.


What element is found in amino acids but not glucose?

Nitrogen is found in amino acids but not in glucose.


Are Glucose and fructose amino acids?

No they are not amino acids.


Is Glucose and amino acids move in or out of a cell by . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport endocytosis and exocytosis?

Glucose and amino acids typically move into cells via facilitated diffusion and active transport. Facilitated diffusion relies on specific transport proteins to help these molecules cross the cell membrane down their concentration gradient. In contrast, active transport requires energy to move them against their concentration gradient. Endocytosis and exocytosis are mechanisms for larger molecules or particles, not typically for glucose and amino acids.


How many different amino acids are in glucose?

There are no amino acids in glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and have a different chemical structure than glucose.


Can essential amino acids be made from glucose?

can the essential amino acids be made from glucose


Which blood vessel contain the highest concentration of Amino acid?

The blood vessels that contain the highest concentration of amino acids are typically the portal veins, specifically the hepatic portal vein. This vessel carries nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver, where amino acids absorbed from digested proteins are transported. The liver processes these amino acids for various metabolic functions, resulting in a high concentration in the portal circulation before they enter systemic circulation.


How is the reduction of plasma alanine concentration caused by gluconeogenesis?

Alanine is the major gluconeogenic amino acid. Plasma alanine is used to make glucose in the liver (Glucose-Alanine Cycle), and thus when this occurs plasma alanine concentration is decreased.


Into what body fluids do glucose fatty acids amino acids pass?

Glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids pass into the bloodstream.
