Answer;

A. During active transport, a material may be moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Explanation;

-Active transport involves movement of molecules or particles against a concentration gradient (from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration). This movement of particles against the concentration gradient requires an input of energy from the cell in the form of ATP.

- Passive transport on the other hand involves movement of materials from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration and does not utilize energy. Passive process are processes such as osmosis and diffusion.

Answer:

Glucose entering the intestines from the villus.This is by active transport.The latter is defined as the movement of molecules and  solutes from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

All the above options depends on the diffusion gradients from one  higher region to another.e.g oxygen passing from high concentration from outside to lower concentration in blood stream,like wise Co2 from higher concentration from inside to outside,with passive diffusion lipids and water enter the small intestine(note amino acid and glucose,and fructose are different).

Active transport( through sodium dependent transporter) transports glucose to the intestine  from the villus.This is movements against concentration gradient because,glucose molecule are concentrated in intestine,and needed by the cells, in the body.Therefore they must be transported as a fast rate inn the blood .

However the absorption by the villi is very slow,therefore active transport is needed to move these against the concentration gradient into the intestine.And finally the blood.

If this were to be moved by  passive diffusion,the high concentration in the intestine will force this back into the villi

Therefore extra energy is needed by active transport for the glucose molecules to enter the intestine from the villus.

The correct answer is E.coli.

Eating undercooked meat puts you at a great risk of getting food-borne diseases, which are caused by pathogen microorganisms. One of the most common food-borne diseases from under-cooked beef is E.coli. The most common symptoms of E.coli are vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps.
