What is the primary driving force for glucose transport into proximal tubule cells?

Biology

erma4kov [3.2K]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is: sodium gradient

It is very important for glucose to be transported into proximal tubule cells (reabsorbed) because that is the way to prevent it from disappearing from the body through the urine.

Glucose is co-transported with sodium ions into the proximal tubule via the SGLT2 cotransporter. This cotransporter is an example of secondary transport because it uses the energy from downhill sodium ion gradient created by the ATPase pump to transport glucose.

Nata [24]

Answer: see below.

Explanation:

gases dissolve more in colder water, so in summer the water can become oxygen depleted. Evaporation in summer can reduce water volume; even in summer rainfall climate evaporation rates may exceed precipitation. Evaporation will also cause higher conentrations of solutes of which some may reach toxic levels. Summer sun may also cause algal or cyanobacterial blooms which can further deplete dissolved oxygen and may release toxins into the water.

Soo-Jung used the subtraction property of equality to solve an equation for y. Which equation could be the one that Soo-Jung sol
antiseptic1488 [7]

Explanation:

Option 1.

4y=12

Dividing 4 both sides

y=3

Division property should be used.

Option 2.

\dfrac{y}{4}=12

Cross multiplying each other,

y=12(4)

y=48

Option 3.

2(4y)=12

Opening bracktet in LHS

8y=12

Dividing both sides by 8 i.e.

y=\dfrac{12}{8}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{2}

Division property is used.

Option 4.

y+4=12

Subtracting both sides by 4 i.e.

Y+4-4=12-4

y=8

Subtraction property is used.

<em><u>It means that in option (4) Soo-Jung used the subtraction property of equality to solve an equation for y.</u></em>
