What is one factor that affects glucose concentration in cells?
Cellular respiration
How does
cellular respiration
affect
glucose
concentration?
It breaks down glucose, which reduces its concentration.
What process involves the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis
How does
osmosis
affect
solute
concentration?
It induces diluteness by moving water across
membranes
.
What is the role of
active transport
in solute concentration?
It moves solutes against
concentration gradients
.
How do
hormones
affect blood glucose levels?
Insulin
and
glycogen
regulate blood glucose levels.
What process breaks down complex carbohydrates into glucose?
Digestion
How does
digestion
affect blood glucose levels?
It increases blood glucose levels by breaking down
carbohydrates
.
What organ's
filtration
affects blood solute concentration?
Kidney
How does
kidney filtration
affect blood
solute
concentration?
It affects concentration through
selective reabsorption
and
secretion
.
