Inflammatory bowel disease is condition that involves chronic inflammation in a portion or all parts of the digestive tract. It is often painful and debilitating which can be life-threatening and may lead to risk for colon cancer. With inflammatory bowel disease, the small and large intestines or bowels become inflamed (there is redness or swelling).

Its symptoms include: severe or chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, sudden weight loss, lack of appetite or rectal bleeding.

It has two major types the ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The primary difference between the two is the parts of the digestive tracts that they affect. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers only the top layer of the large intestine. Whereas, Crohn's disease commonly affects the end of the small intestine (ileum) and the proximal part of the colon. Such inflammation causes swelling and scar tissue that thickens the intestinal wall.

Uric acid is transported across epithelial cells in the kidneys by an organic acid transporter (OAT) membrane transport protein.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Competition

Explanation:

Transportation of some molecules can not be through simple diffusion due to their size or other factors.

Therefore carrier proteins known as transporters are needed to facilitate their transportation.

Transporters exhibit or demonstrate characteristics such as competition,

During competition, presence of a certain molecule decreases the transportation of another molecule.

When Uric acid transportation is decreased due to the presence of probenecid is a good example of competition.

What did Darwin notice about life on the Galápagos Islands?
mote1985 [20]
Because of the isolation of Galapagos, the life forms that had somehow reached the island, such as the lizard and other such creatures, had evolved differently over time compared to their cousins on the mainland. Things like a bird that was usually able to fly no longer had long wings spans or the ability to fly on the island, the large lizards on the island were used to eating sea-vegetation and often swam right into the ocean using their long tails to swim. And so forth.
