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.

Answer:

The correct answer is - T4, and T3.

Explanation:

The Thyroid glands are butterfly shape glands madeup of microscopic spherical structures known as thyroid follicles made up of cuboidal follicular cells. These cells produces the both major hormones of thyroid gland T4, and T3.

The majority of thyroid hormones are produced as T4 hormones approximately 80% but a small amount of 20% is released in the form of T3 hormones. However, the most active form of the thyroid hormone is T3 and to act on target cells, one iodine molecule have to be removed to convert T4 to T3.
