Question

Glucose is reabsorbed _______. a) by secondary active transport b) by facilitated diffusion through transmembrane proteins c) into the peritubular capillaries d) All of the above are correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the movement of some selected particles only. Different types of movement like diffusion, osmosis and active transport occurs in the body.

Glucose acts as the primary energy source of the body. Glucose can be reabosrbed in the body by the facilitated diffusion and by the secondary active transport as well depending on the site of the cell. Glucose can enter in the peritubular capillaries as well.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
