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?

The answer is; active transport in small intestines and passive transport in blood cells

In passive transport, no energy is required to transport the glucose molecules because they spon6tanosuely move down their concenntrati0n gradient. The transport protein in the blood cell membrane only enables the molecule to pass across the hydrophobic layer of lipid in the membrane and into the cell.

In active transport, energy is required in the transportation of glucose against their concentration gradient (glucose is highly concentrated in the lumen of the intestines than in the bloodstream). Sodium/Potassium (Na+/K+) pumps play a significant role in the transport of glucose. When sodium diffuses back into the cells, they drag along glucose molecules  with them across the sodium-glucose transporter protein.

Choose the best location for obtaining a red bone marrow sample from a patient. 14) A) medullary cavity of femur C) hip bone B)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

the hip bone

Explanation:

The bone marrow is divided into two; yellow and red bone marrow. The yellow bone marrow stores fats and contains mesenchymal stem cells which can develop into muscle cells or cartilage. The yellow marrow is located at the central cavities of long bones while the red bone marrow is located at the hip, sternum and humerus.

For a red bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to be done on a patient, the samples should be best obtained from the hip bone because it is a flat bone with soft tissues and no major organs and blood vessels are located.

Qué sucede cuando una persona tiene muy poco o demasiado costeroides?
Andreas93 [3]

Los corticoides se emplean para tratar los síntomas producidos por un brusco descenso de los niveles de corticoides en el organismo, por ejemplo en la enfermedad de Addison. También presentan un gran poder antiinflamatorio. En ocasiones, por distintos estímulos, algunas células de nuestro cuerpo liberan unas sustancias que provocan inflamación. Los corticoides al reducir la liberación de estas sustancias ante, por ejemplo, respuestas alérgicas o inmunes, reducen a su vez la inflamación. Por tanto, los corticoides serán útiesl en enfermedades que se caracterizan por una inflamación excesiva.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The correct answer should be option A.

It is because there is only one difference in the sequence of protein synthesized in the Gorilla gorilla and Homo sapiens.

As they have the least difference in the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of the protein they would the most closely related as compared to others.
