Glucose is absorbed by Na+/glucose symporter into the intestinal epithelial cells.
<span>
Symporter is located on the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelial cell and it <span>is used for uptake of glucose from the intestinal lumen into the cell (against the concentration gradient). One glucose molecule and two Na+ enter the cell via symporter. Na+ concentration gradient and the membrane potential (generated from the Na+/K+ ATPase in the basolateral membrane) enable the function of the symporter. Glucose leaves the cell via facilitated diffusion on the basolateral membrane of the intestinal epithelial cell and goes into the blood.</span></span>
Answer: Option C.
Macroevolution is a change in allele frequencies within a population.
Explanation:
Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies within a population over time. Microevolution is caused by four processes which are natural selection, artificial selection, gene flow and gene drift and these are referred to as fundament forces of evolution.
The correct answer is - D. A drought kills all the plants in an area, leaving bare land.
If there's such a big drought that will manage to kill off all the vegetation in an area and leave bare land behind it, than the land will be degraded in no time. Once the land is left without its natural protection that the roots of the vegetation provide, the land will be exposed to high rates of and erosion. The erosion will be very quick and the top layers of the soil will be moved away with every wind and rainfall that will appear. That will degrade the land to a very high degree, making it totally unusable and it will need lot of time to eventually recuperate.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is A) make food.</em>
Explanation:
Photosynthesis can be described as a process by which organisms like plant and some algae make their own food. They use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is the by- product of this reaction. Hence, option A is correct.
Other options are wrong because photosynthesis is not a process by which energy can be extracted from food or it is not a process by which excretion of waste occurs. Neither is it a process of reproduction.
Answer: D) Polygenic
Explanation: Polygenic inheritance describes the inheritance of traits that are determined by more than one gene. These genes, called polygenes, produce specific traits when they are expressed together. Polygenic traits have many possible phenotypes (physical characteristics) that are determined by interactions among several alleles. Examples of polygenic inheritance in humans include traits such as skin color, eye color, hair color, body shape, height, and weight.
