Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei

ns that transport glucose against its concentration gradient. These proteins couple the movement of glucose to the movement of sodium down its concentration gradient. Red blood cells have transporter proteins embedded in their membranes. When bound by a glucose molecule, these proteins change shape and allow glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Based on this information, what type of transport is used for glucose in blood and intestinal cells?

A.
Blood cells take in glucose by active transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.
B.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.
C.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.
D.
Blood cells take in glucose by passive transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Intestinal cell takes in glucose against Concentration gradient (uses energy in the form of ATP) to transport glucose into cell.

In blood cell, uptake of glucose occurs down concentration gradient. Hence, its facilitated diffusion (passive transport)

Glucose is a polar molecules due to presence of polar hydrophilic - OH group, hence carrier proteins are needed to provide a hydrophilic channel for glucose to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.

Why do Canadians pay much less for treated water.
lesya692 [45]
Canada, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, is also one of the most water-rich. The province of Ontario shares the Great Lakes—which contain 18 percent of the world’s fresh surface water—with the United States. Access to sufficient, affordable, and safe drinking water and adequate sanitation is easy for most Canadians. But this is not true for many First Nations indigenous persons. In stark contrast, the water supplied to many First Nations communities on lands known as reserves is contaminated, hard to access, or at risk due to faulty treatment systems. The government regulates water quality for off-reserve communities, but has no binding regulations for water on First Nations reserves.
