Insulin is the hormone that activates facilitated diffusion of glucose. It promotes the translocation of glucose transporter proteins (such as GLUT4) to the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter cells, particularly in muscle and adipose tissue. This process is essential for regulating blood sugar levels and providing energy to cells.
What else can I help you with?
When a cell secretes a hormone that is a form of?
In my biology class this specific questions was asked. A cell secretes a hormone through facilitated diffusion.
What hormone aids the diffusion of glucose across the cell membrane?
Insulin is the hormone that aids in the diffusion of glucose across the cell membrane by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, particularly in muscle and fat tissue. In the absence of insulin or in conditions of insulin resistance, glucose uptake is impaired, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Is glucose a hormone?
Glucose is a sugar.It is not a hormone.
What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
What hormone is used for metabolism of glucose?
insulin hormone
Is glucose a hormone that regulates the body's production of insulin?
No, but insulin is a hormone that regulates the body's production of glucose.
Which hormone does not raise blood glucose concentration?
growrh hormone
What is the only hormone that can lower blood glucose levels?
The only hormone that can lower blood glucose levels is insulin.
What hormone causes an increase in blood glucose levels?
The hormone that causes an increase in blood glucose levels is called glucagon.
What is hormone glucagon?
It is a hormone by pancreas.It increase blood glucose level.
Is growth hormone glucose sparing?
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
What pancreatic hormone stimulates elevated blood glucose levels?
The hormone Insulin regulates the body's glucose levels.
