Factors affecting glucose and splute concentration

Cards (10)

  • 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.
