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

Biology

qaws [65]4 years ago

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.

A red-tailed hawk swoops down and captures a young rabbit feeding on dandelions growing in a park. the relationship between the
Rudiy27
The hawk, a carnivore (animal meat-eater), is predating on the rabbit, an herbivore (plant-eater). So the hawk can be seen as the predator and the rabbit as the prey.
But another type of relationship important in Ecology is consumers. So producers are the plants that feed a food web. That makes the rabbits the primary consumers (herbivores) of these plants. Then the hawks become the secondary consumers (carnivores) of the primary consumers, by eating the herbivores.
Hope that this makes sense!

 An hypothesis is a generalized statement which predicts the relationship between the variables you are examining. 
Control group: THE GROUP THAT DID NOT GET ANY FERTILIZER
The control group is the group that does not receive any treatment. 
Experimental groups: THE GROUPS THAT RECEIVED FERTILIZERS.
The experimental group is the group that receives treatment. 
Constants: TYPES OF SOIL USED, MORNING SUNLIGHT, WATER AND THE NO OF DAY THE EXPERIMENT LAST.
The constants are the inputs into your experiment which you give to all the groups.
