Which of the following is most likely true of a protein that cotransports glucose and sodium ions into the intestinal cells of a

n animal? Which of the following is most likely true of a protein that cotransports glucose and sodium ions into the intestinal cells of an animal? Sodium ions can move down their electrochemical gradient through the cotransporter whether or not glucose is present outside the cell. Glucose entering the cell down its concentration gradient provides energy for uptake of sodium ions against the electrochemical gradient. A substance that blocks sodium ions from binding to the cotransport protein will also block the transport of glucose. The cotransporter can also transport potassium ions. Sodium and glucose compete for the same binding site in the cotransporter.

The correct answer is: A substance that blocks sodium ions from binding to the cotransport protein will also block the transport of glucose.

The Sodium Glucose Linked Transporters (SGLT) require the energy to transport glucose (uphill glucose gradient). They use that energy from this downhill sodium ion gradient created by the ATPase pump.

The answer is A substance that blocks sodium ions from binding to the cotransport protein will also block the transport of glucose.

Sodium ions are necessary for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. Sodium is needed by animals, which maintain high concentrations in their blood and extracellular fluids, but the ion is not needed by plants.

<h2>Galapagos Finch </h2>

Explanation:

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation

  • Darwin's finches common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago,during the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behavior
  • Changes in size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such us insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers all driven by Darwinian selection
  • From 1831 to 1836, Darwin was part of a survey expedition carried out by the ship HMS Beagle, which included stops in South America, Australia, and the southern tip of Africa
  • At each of the stop, Darwin had the opportunity to study the local plants and animals
  • Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galapagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them,he noted that each finch species was well-suited for its environment and role
  • For example species that ate large seeds tended to have large, tough beaks, while those that ate insects had thin, sharp beaks
  • According to Darwin's idea, this pattern would make sense if the Galapagos Islands had long ago been populated by birds from the neighboring mainland
  • On each island, the finches might have gradually adapted to local conditions (over many generations and long periods of time)
  • This process could have led to the formation of one or more distinct species on each island
  • Darwin developed and refined a set of ideas that could explain the patterns he had observed during his voyage
  • In his book, On the Origin of Species, Darwin outlined his two key ideas: evolution and natural selection
  • Natural selection which also known as “survival of the fittest,” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits; this leads to evolutionary change
