One type of active transport is called cotransport. In cotransport, the energy available from an ion moving through a transport

protein down its electrochemical gradient is coupled with the movement of another solute (small polar molecule or ion) through the same protein but against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. The solute that is being transported against its gradient may move into the cell or out of the cell (but not both), depending on the type of transport protein that catalyzes this process. Before beginning this tutorial, watch the clip of the Membrane Transport animation showing cotransport of sodium and glucose.
Which statement accurately summarizes a feature of passive transport?
a- It makes the cell interior and exterior more different from one another.
b- It is a spontaneous process.
c- It involves no change in entropy.
d- No membrane proteins are involved.

Answer:

b- It is a spontaneous process.

Explanation:

Passive transport is the type of transport of substances across the plasma membrane that occurs without energy expenditure and occurs spontaneously. There is no energy expenditure during passive transport because substances naturally move from the more concentrated to the less concentrated medium, ie in favor of the concentration gradient.

Substance transport occurs until concentrations inside and outside the cell are equalized.

According to this conceptualization we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter B.

Which veterinary professionals design the veterinary curriculum? please help ​
Virty [35]

Answer:

Recent studies of the veterinary profession have established a need for training in various areas beyond those directed toward building competence and proficiency as a clinician. To address this need, a workshop was designed whose objective was to develop a detailed outline of a model curriculum that would encompass the skills, knowledge, aptitudes, and attitudes deemed essential for economic success in the veterinary profession. The model curriculum was created from comprehensive input provided by consultants and educators. Constraints for implementation of this curriculum are identified, and future directions are discussed.

Once absorbed the majority of glucose is transported to
ycow [4]

Answer: Liver

Glucose is the most important fuel source for the body, specifically the brain. It is absorbed through the mucosal lining into the epithelial cells of the intestine by active transport via sodium-dependent hexose transporter. From the epithelial cells, glucose is moved into the surrounding capillaries by facilitated diffusion into the liver. Once in the liver, glucose is stored as glycogen.
