How do you activate transporter to plazma burst?

In Plazma Burst, the transporter should activate automatically when you approach it. Simply stand close to the transporter and wait for it to activate, then step onto it to be transported to the next location. If it's not working, make sure there are no obstacles blocking the transporter's path.


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

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


How do sugar glucose molecules able to pass through the cell membrane?

facilitated diffusion - a solute binds to a specific transporter on one side of the membrane and is released on the other side after the transporter undergoes a conformational change. includes glucose,urea,fructose,galactose,and some vitamins.


What concentration gradients are established and maintained by the sodium-potassium pump?

high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm


What powers the sodium glucose transporter?

The sodium-glucose transporter (SGLT) is powered primarily by the sodium gradient across the cell membrane, which is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase). This transporter utilizes the energy from the co-transport of sodium ions (Na+) down their concentration gradient to drive the uptake of glucose against its concentration gradient. Essentially, as sodium ions enter the cell, they facilitate the simultaneous transport of glucose into the cell, enabling efficient glucose absorption in tissues such as the intestines and kidneys.
