Question
Chapter 23.7, Problem 23.19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the passive diffusion of glucose back out of the cell has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Passive diffusion:
The transport of ions in the cell membrane which doesn’t need any energy, because the substances move from high concentration to low concentration, in this process only ions which are non-polar and small in size are allowed.
Glycolysis process:
The process in which the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
The process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic
