Glucose enters the epithelial cells of the small intestine against its concentration gradient. Select the BEST explanation from
the following. Glucose is co-transported in the Na /K pump. Glucose is co-transported with Na , which moves down its concentration gradient into the cell. Glucose follows the water that is pumped into the cell. Glucose is transported through a glucose pump in the apical membrane that hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and Pi. Glucose enters by diffusion.
Glucose is co-transported with Na , which moves down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Explanation:
Na/K pump is a pump located on the plasma membrane which uses ATP to move 3 Na ions out the cell and brings in 2 K ions into the cell. It is an example of primary active transport. As a consequence,concentration of Na is higher outside the cell, while K concentration is higher inside the cell.
Glucose is transported in the cell against its gradient, together with Na ions (symport) which move down their concentration gradient.
This is an example of secondary active transport because it uses the energy from the primary active transport to move other substances such as glucose against their own gradients.
Kasi po yung Mantle mainit sya may magma ganon. And also the statement of B was a false statement po kase po yung Mantle it never gets cool kaya ganon mainit lagi do yeah B yung sagot
