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.

What element is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Iodine

Explanation:

This is a trace element needed for the  synthesis of the two thyroid hormone ; T4- thyroxine and T3-triiodothyronine. Four iodine molecules are added in T4 synthesis, and  three for T3 synthesis. Generally T4 is the major hormone produced, but  biologically transformed into active form T3.

Iodine majorly and selenium are the two trace elements needed for thyroid hormones synthesis. Therefore required amount of iodine is important in daily diet. iIn adequate supply of this leads to under production of iodine called hypothyroidism. poor brain development ( especially in kids),and goiter.

Sea foods . eggs, poultry seaweeds are rich sources of iodine.

Conversely, when  excessive amount is present in the blood, autoimmune thyroid diseases can occur,including cancer developments in the thyroid gland due to hyper cell activities.

The diagram is a model of one way that materials move
hram777 [196]

Answer:

they move to an area with lower concentration.

Explanation:

Air particles always travel from an area where they are high in concentration to an area where they are low in concentration. as we can see that on the left hand side the numbers of o2 and co2 molecules are balanced.
