Why are animal cells more irregularly shaped than plant cells? How does amoeba move actin filaments? How do plants store glucose? How do plants get rid of water from cellular respiration? How does the cell membrane control movement of materials?
The digestive system breaks all proteins down into their amino acids so that they can enter thebloodstream. Cells then use the amino acids as building blocks to build enzymes and structural proteins. SeeHow Food Worksfor additional information....
The problem arises because the sugar in milk -- lactose -- does not get broken into its glucose components. Therefore, it cannot be digested. The intestinal cells of lactose-intolerant people do not produce lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose. This problem shows how the lack of...
How do endothelial cells control vasoconstriction? Where in a plant cell is glucose produced? What happens to glucose in the kidneys? How does sugar or protein enter the matrix if the inner membrane of the mitochondria is impermeable? Explain the chemical structure of glucose. ...
Q: Why do some gardeners plant carrot and radish seeds together? A: Radish seeds take only a few days to germinate, so they will come up and mark carrot rows for you while gently loosening the soil around the carrots to give them a good start. Harvest radishes as soon as they are mat...
Cells don’t have ‘cell’ phones to talk to each other, nor do they have voices or mouths. Fortunately, they don’t need any of those things! They accomplish all of this through an efficient and dynamic form of communication called cell signaling. ...
Green tea leaves are rich in flavonoids called catechins (pronounced “KAH-tuh-kins”). This polyphenol (plant chemical) in tea leaves acts as an antioxidant. Green tea is particularly high in epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG), a ca...
Reasons for pepper plant wilting? Improper water schedule Photosynthesis is vital for pepper plants because it allows them to produce glucose which can then be converted into other nutrients such as carbohydrates and proteins. Water also forms the protoplasm in pepper plant cells, which is a fluid...
How do mitochondria help maintain homeostasis? What is a common occurrence in the glucose-to-pyruvate catabolic pathway? How does chemiosmosis bring sucrose into the plant cell? How is chemiosmosis in photosynthesis different than in cellular respiration?
How do cells use active transport to maintain homeostasis? Why do cells need carrier proteins that transport glucose? How does active transport work in a cell? How are cells affected by the movement of water? Why do cells contain a small amount of ATP?
