What else can I help you with?
Liver cells and muscle are able store chains of glucose in a molecule are call?
Liver cells store chains of glucose in a molecule called glycogen, while muscle cells store glucose in the form of glycogen as well. Glycogen acts as a reserve of energy that can be broken down into glucose when needed for energy production.
Animal cells are able to produce glucose through photosynthesis?
No, animal cells are not able to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Only plant cells, algae, and some bacteria have the ability to perform photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Animal cells rely on consuming glucose through their diet or breaking down stored carbohydrates for energy.
What gland produces insulin and glucagon?
Glucose MetabolismPancreas, liver and muscle cells are responsible for glucose metabolism and if there is any defect in this organ may end up with diabetes. DiabetesType1 diabetes - body has no or low insulin production, which is caused by autoimmune disorder and only treated with insulin shots. Type2 diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.InsulinInsulin a hormone needed for effective conversion of glucose into energy and keep as energetic and maintain blood glucose level.
What cells are able to glucose from lactate?
Liver cells (hepatocytes) and kidney cells can convert lactate into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This process is particularly important during periods of fasting or intense exercise when glucose levels are low. Lactate, produced by anaerobic metabolism in muscles, is transported to the liver, where it is converted back into glucose, which can then be released into the bloodstream to maintain energy levels.
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.
Liver cells and muscle are able store chains of glucose in a molecule are call?
Liver cells store chains of glucose in a molecule called glycogen, while muscle cells store glucose in the form of glycogen as well. Glycogen acts as a reserve of energy that can be broken down into glucose when needed for energy production.
What would happen if muscle cell stopped working?
if muscle cells stop working then we are not able to perform activites related to our muscle cells.
When muscle cells are oxygen deprived the heart still pumps, what must the heart cells be able to do?
It must be able to continue aerobic metabolism when skeletal muscle cannot
What is insuline resistance?
insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas/beta cells when you eat glucose(sugar) is in the blood stream in order for your cells to use the glucose for energy or store it insulin has to "unlock the gate" to let glucose into the cell in insulin resistance your body cells don't let the insulin "unlock the gate" so the pancreas produces more insulin so you have a lot of insulin in your blood stream Type2 Diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.
Why do your cells need glucose?
Cells need glucose to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. Glucose is the primary source of fuel for the body's cells, providing the necessary energy to carry out essential functions and activities. Without glucose, cells would not be able to generate the energy needed to sustain life.
What stores glycogen in a cell?
If your body does not have any use for the glucose, it is converted into glycogen and stored it in the liver and muscles as an energy reserve. Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat.
Animal cells are able to produce glucose through photosynthesis?
No, animal cells are not able to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Only plant cells, algae, and some bacteria have the ability to perform photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Animal cells rely on consuming glucose through their diet or breaking down stored carbohydrates for energy.

That animal cells are able to produce glucose through photosynthesis?
No they contain no chlorophyll so can't photosynthesise
Is a reactant that is needed in order for cells to be able to release energy from glucose during areboic respiration?
Oxygen
The only tissue that is able to contract and shorten in the body?
muscles
Why are cells always in need of glucose and oxygen?
Cells require glucose and oxygen for energy production through the process of cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. Without a constant supply of glucose and oxygen, cells would not be able to generate the energy needed to carry out essential functions and maintain life.
