Which protein is responsible for transport of glucose across cell membrane?

A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.


Where does the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria?

The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondria. It consists of a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which is used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?

Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.


Why oxygen molecules do not across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?

Glucose is too big to pass throught.


Where do electrons moving across the inner membrane come from?

The electrons moving across the inner membrane in mitochondria come from the oxidation of nutrients, such as glucose, during the process of cellular respiration. These electrons pass through the electron transport chain, generating a gradient of protons across the inner membrane that is used to produce ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.


Large numbers of which organelle would be present in a cell that actively transports a lot of glucose across its membrane?

Active transport requires energy. Energy is released as a result of respiration, and respiration takes place in mitochondria. So major sites of active transport, such as kidney nephrons and villi in the small intestine need relatively large number of these organelles.


The cell uses energy to transport glucose through the cell membrane?

Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.


Where do the reactions of each electron transport chain occur?

In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.


What is it called when transport proteins to help large molecules like glucose across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which transport proteins help large molecules like glucose cross the cell membrane. These proteins create a channel or carrier mechanism that allows the molecule to move across the membrane along its concentration gradient.


Where is ATP made in the mitochondria?

ATP is made in the mitochondria through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The electron transport chain generates a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which drives the production of ATP by ATP synthase.


Where does a Electron Transport Chain happen?

In aerobic respiration, electron transport occurs inside the mitochondria. In photosynthesis, electron transport occurs inside the chloroplasts.
