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.

Answer:

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.

Question # 9
weeeeeb [17]
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.
