What is cotransport? Explain how understanding it is used in our treatment of diarrhea.​

Biology
1 answer:
qaws [65]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In cotransport, a single ATP-powered pump that transports a specific solute drives the active transport of several other  solutes. Normally, sodium in waste is reabsorbed in the colon, maintaining constant levels in the body, but diarrhea  expels waste so rapidly that re-absorption is not possible, and sodium levels fall precipitously. To treat this life threatening condition, patients are given a solution to drink containing high concentrations of salt and glucose. The  solutes are taken up by sodium-glucose cotransporters on the surface of intestinal cells and passed through the cells into  the blood. This simple treatment has lowered infant mortality worldwide.

Hi

Before answering this question, we need to understand first that what a mutation is. <em>A mutation basically is a change in the DNA or genetic sequence of an organism that can significantly affect or not affect the function of a specific gene in organism. </em>

Now coming towards the question, yes ofcourse it is possible that a Norwar rats population carries a different genetic mutation than a population os same rats in Africa or any other region, Why? Because sometimes environmental factors of a certain area can cause the population of a region to undergo mutation (For example harsh UV rays) and the other population donot contains that mutation. This will cause a slight change in the genetic makeup of the population of rats of Norther America. However, if the changes in genetic makeup continues to happen in North American Norway rats, a time will come when they will be genetically very different from same rats in Africa and in this way they will become a separate or different specie, this phenomenon is called speciation.

Hope it helps!

LekaFEV [45]

THE DOG HAS 2 BROTHER is the example of discrete data.

The dog has 2 brothers.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Discrete data is the information that can be categorized into a classification. Discrete data is based on counts. only a few finite number of value is possible.

It consists of whole number that are counted rather than measured. It can be classified  into two type, one is discrete and  other is continuous data, where the discrete is countable of the object and the continuous  is measurable one.

The dog has two brother is the example for discrete data because the number can be countable, remaining statement are continuous because they are measurable statement, it is always comes under the data continuous.
