In normal cells, when insulin binds to its receptors on the target cell, glucose transporters get activated which then allow glucose to get into the cell from the blood vessels. Insulin is a protein hormone, so its receptor would be ___________ . Glucose transporter is a/an ___________. If insulin receptor is absent, glucose will __________to enter the cell. Insulin binds to the normal insulin receptor but the glucose transporter is nonfunctional, in that case, glucose will __________ into the cell.

See the figure below to answer the following: Solution B is ______________________ to Solution A. This is because Solution B has a greater concentration of ___________________ in it than does Solution A. Solution C has no solutes dissolved in it, therefore it is _____________________ to both Solutions A and B.

If a cell had 5% solute concentration and its environment had 5.5% solute concentration, determine the direction of osmosis?
