Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei

ns that transport glucose against its concentration gradient. These proteins couple the movement of glucose to the movement of sodium down its concentration gradient. Red blood cells have transporter proteins embedded in their membranes. When bound by a glucose molecule, these proteins change shape and allow glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Based on this information, what type of transport is used for glucose in blood and intestinal cells?

Answer:

From the given information, the transport of glucose in blood across the red blood cells takes place by facilitated diffusion, that involves the spontaneous passive-transport with the help of trans-membrane proteins or transporter proteins to move the ions or molecules down the concentration gradient.

While the transport of glucose in intestines take place via active transport mechanism. It takes place from gut into intestines. It occurs against the concentration gradient with the help of energy molecules like proteins.

Korolek [52]

This question is not complete

Complete Question:

Students investigated samples of amylase from 100 goats. 100 small filter paper discs were each soaked in a different sample of goat amylase. The students tested the activity of these amlyase samples using plain paper. Plain paper contains starch.

A circle of plain paper was placed into a Petri dish ad shown in the diagram below. Iodine solution was used to stain the starch in the plain paper.

When iodine solution reacts with the starch in the plain paper, what colour would you see?

Answer:

The colour that would be seen is blue black .

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the breaking down or hydrolyses of starch.

When Amylase reacts with iodine, it speeds up the rate of reaction of the hydrolysis of the starch present in the plain paper.

The colour that would be observed is a blue black colour and the starch in the paper would be broken down further more into simpler sugars.

drek231 [11]
Based on the information above, the correct answer to the question would be a. Percy will likely make an external attribution. Since he does not remember anything that would cause him to think that he can be a reason why one of his windows is broken, then he most probably will attribute it towards an external event.

Crank
I believe the answer is <span>small annual plants
</span>

<span>Small annual plants will easily grow after a flood since it was small and rapidly growing. They also died fast, which makes them reproduce quickly. If the condition is harsh with less soil, l</span>ichen will be the most easier to survive. Pine and oak are strong trees that will be formed last.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1. Nucleotides

2. Amino acids

3. Amino acids

4. Glucose

Explanation:

All the above substance described are biomolecules. They are all polymers i.e. complex molecule bond together in a long repeating chain, made up of simpler subunits called monomers. The monomers of the different biomolecules outlined above are:

1. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many NUCELEOTIDES. A nuceleotide is a chemical combination of a five carbon sugar (pentose), phosphate group and nitrogenous base. These nucleotides are arranged sequentially to form nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).

2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen molecules and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are arranged to form a 3D structure that determines the function of the protein.

3. Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. All proteins are made up of the amino acid but the protein's function is dependent on the 3D structure formed by the amino acid sequence.

4. Animals store energy in the form of glycogen, a carbohydrate made up of thousands of monosaccharide (GLUCOSE). Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of many monosaccharide units. These units are glucose molecules that are multibranched to form the glycogen that stores mainly in the liver and muscles of animals.
