Gluconeogensis Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Insulin-mediated glucose uptake by muscle and adipose tissue is a result of: - Translocation of GLUT 4 receptors to the cell surface The two primary non-toxic methods of transport ammonia are using he amino acids: - glutamine and alanine a healthy, well-nourished 27-year old ate a large steak and egg breakfast. A few hours later, she consumed an ice cream sundae. The protein from her diet is denatured and then proteolyses to single amino acids. Several hours later, the majority of th...

WGU C785 Home Study Thorough Review Exam Questions with Approved Marking Scheme Updated Latest 2024 Why are red blood cells (rbcs) an interesting example of fermentation. - correct answer they lack mitochondria (and therefore the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain), rbcs must rely on glycolysis as their sole pathway for producing ATP Fermentation - correct answer When there's no more NAD+, NADH from glycolysis can go into fermentation to make lactate and a NAD+ to put the NAD+ b...

Advanced Patho NURS 5315 exam 1 action potential The process by which excitable cells transmit information from one to another. How is the action potential altered by a potassium imbalance? (Hyperkalemia) The ECF has more K+ ions. The membrane potential becomes more positive (hypopolarized). Cells become MORE excitable. T waves peak. QRS complexes widen. Causes dysrhythmias, weakness, paresthesia. {If membrane potential becomes equal to threshold potential cardiac standstill occurs}...
