Q

need for energy in living organisms for transport across membranes

A

1) active transport (Na+ K+ pump neuron)
2) exocytosis of digested bacteria in WBC
3) secretion of enzymes. example: amylase from salivary glands
4) secretion of hormones. example: insulin from pancreas
5) secretion of antibodies from plasma cells

Q

why glucose does not burn spontaneously

A

glucose is quite stable, because of activation energy that has to be added before any reaction takes place
in living organisms, the activation energy is overcome by lowering it using enzymes and phosphorylation
