True because divergent boundaries do that
Skin is the first line of defense mechanism of our immune system. It acts as a barrier for pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. However, skin itself has a microbiota that does not allow other microorganisms to invade or colonize. Any wound, cut or change in the pH of skin due to environmental conditions or any disease might lead to the entry of the opportunistic microorganisms inside the skin. This leads to several skin disorders such as dermatitis, eczema, cellulitis, warts, etc. Thus, it is extremely important to keep the skin hydrated and healthy to avoid any kind of microbial invasion.
Answer:
1. Part A: No
2. Part B: Yes
3: Part C : Yes
4: Part D : No
Explanation:
1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:
No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose
2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:
Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.
3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:
Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.
4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine
No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.
