What else can I help you with?
Is the concentration of glucose higher in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma?
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
Whenever the plasma glucose concentration exceeds the renal plasma threshold?
it shows in urine.
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.
Is a blood test that measures the body's ability to break down a concentrated glucose solution?
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
1 Plasma blood glucose is higher than whole blood glucose by what percentage?
i know it's higher than corresponding blood glucose concentration from 10 - 15%
What type of solution causes water to shift from the cells into the plasma?
A hypertonic solution causes water to shift from cells into the plasma. In this situation, the solution outside the cell has a higher concentration of solutes compared to inside the cell, leading to osmosis where water moves out of the cell to equalize the concentration gradient.
What is plasma dialysis?
removal of waste product from the plasma......not so sure tho
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma protein molecules to pass?
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma proteins to pass the dialyzing fluid. During kidney dialysis, the constituents of the patients blood pass through the dialysis membrane with the exception of plasma proteins.
Connection between plasma osmolarity and total body water in mathematical equation terms?
Plasma Osmolarity =Total Body mOsm - Urine mOs-------------------------------------Total Body Water - Urine Volumeand: Total Body Osmolarity = PLasma Osmolarity x Weight x 0.6 Total Body Water = Weigth x 0.6
The movement of glucose molecules across a plasma membrane from an area of lower glucose concentration to an area of higher glucose concentration occurs due to?
active transport, specifically through a process known as secondary active transport or cotransport. This process relies on the use of energy generated by the concentration gradient of another molecule, usually sodium ions, to drive the movement of glucose against its gradient.
What is the salt NaCl of Blood?
The concentration of sodium in blood plasma is 136-145 mmol/L.
Cells require glucose as a source of energy to carry out life processes. Large molecules like glucose cross the cell's plasma membrane by?
Large molecules like glucose cross the cell's plasma membrane primarily through facilitated diffusion, a process mediated by specific transport proteins known as glucose transporters. These proteins help transport glucose down its concentration gradient without using energy. In some cases, glucose can also enter cells via active transport, which requires energy to move glucose against its concentration gradient.
