Must sugar dissolve in blood to enter cells?

No, sugar enters cells through facilitative diffusion, a process that does not require it to dissolve in blood. Cells use specialized transport proteins to move sugar molecules from the blood into the cell.


Specialized globular proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens is known as what?

Antibodies are the specialized globular proteins that specifically bind to foreign proteins and pathogens to aid in their neutralization or elimination from the body. They are produced by white blood cells called B cells as part of the immune response.


What is the correct order of the following events in the inflammatory response immediately after tissue injury?

The correct order of events in the inflammatory response after tissue injury includes: Vasoconstriction to reduce blood flow and limit bleeding. Vasodilation to increase blood flow and bring immune cells to the site of injury. Increased vascular permeability allows plasma proteins and immune cells to enter the tissues. Activation of immune cells to clear pathogens and promote tissue repair.


What process is this called when cells enter the plasma membrane?

The only time a cell would be entering the plasma membrane would be with a white blood cell. The process is called phagocytosis, a form of endocytosis.


What part of the plasma membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell?

The phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane, specifically the integral membrane proteins like transport proteins and ion channels, regulate what enters and leaves the cell by controlling the movement of molecules across the membrane.

What role do proteins play in the structure and function of plasma membranes?

Proteins in plasma membranes help maintain the structure and regulate the functions of cells by serving as channels for molecules to enter and exit the cell, as well as facilitating cell signaling and recognition.


Where do nutrients enter cells?

plasma membrane


Nutrients and oxygen how are they passed from plasma to body cells?

The nutrients and O do not come from the plasma to the body cells. They came from the red blood cells that deliver them (or so I thought). They then enter the capillaries and give the nutrients and O to the other cells and get the waste products like CO2.


What molecule movement is when glucose leave your blood streem and enter your cells by attaching to specialized carrier proteins?

Facillitated diffusion


What does blood do when it is pumped through the body?

After being oxygenated in the lungs, the blood enters the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body via the aorta. Blood cells carry oxygen, and the liquid portion of the blood, called plasma, carries the nutrients needed by the cells to perform their life functions. As oxygen enters the body cells, carbon dioxide, as a waste product from cellular respiration, diffuses into the blood, which returns to the right atrium of the heart via the superior and and inferior vena cavae, and is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated via the right ventricle. As blood travels through the body, nutrients from the plasma enter the cells, and cell waste products enter the plasma. The liver and the kidneys cleanse the plasma portion of the blood, and nutrients are replenished via the small intestine. The plasma portion of the blood also carries hormones throughout the body, which are secreted by endocrine glands into the blood.


What blood cells enter infected cells?

White blood cells


How are potassium molecules likely to enter a red blood cells?

potassium ion is attracted by electron pairs of nitrogen present in proteins of RBC.....


How does blood enter a red blood cell?

Blood contains red blood cells. Red blood cells don't contain blood. Blood does not enter the red blood cell.


Why no protein is found in the filtrate even though it is present in the blood plasma?

No protein is found in the filtrate because the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidneys selectively prevents large molecules, such as proteins, from passing through. This barrier consists of fenestrated endothelial cells, a basement membrane, and podocytes that create small slits, allowing only small molecules and water to filter into the urine. As a result, while proteins are present in the blood plasma, they are retained in the bloodstream and do not enter the filtrate under normal physiological conditions.


From which part of the alementry canal does digested food enter the blood?

plasma

Why can a virus enter some types of human cells and not others?

Some viruses are very specific to certain cells. The cell has proteins on it's surface and a virus will use it a docking station to be able to enter the cell. Some cells don't have that protein and the virus can not enter the cell.
