The villi of the small intestine use active transport to take up nutrients after concentration has reached equilibrium.
<h3>What is Active transport?</h3>
Active transport may be defined as the process that occurs against the concentration gradient and is mediated by carrier proteins. Metabolic energy is used to move ions or molecules against a concentration gradient.
During the process of digestion, the villi in the small intestine enthrall the soluble nutrients gradually. Over time, the concentration of nutrients in the villi acquires an equilibrium with the concentration in the gut. Until here, the nutrient uptake is carried by the process of passive diffusion.
But after attaining the equilibrium, the nutrient uptake is carried by the process of active transport.
The complete question is as follows:
What part of the body uses active transport to take up nutrients after concentration has reached equilibrium?
- Lungs
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Liver
Therefore, the correct option for this question is C, i.e. small intestine.

It rains, water moves and erodes the land and creates valleys and rivers.
Answer:
Explanation:
A. There is a greater risk of E.coli infection from hamburger consumption than in steak. Hamburger is made with ground beef and bacteria which includes E.coli spreads more in ground beef. On the contrary, steak is not ground meat so the spread of bacteria in it is reduced compared to hamburger.
B. Food poisoning can still occur. Though staphylococcus aureus can easily be killed by the heat associated with warming, it's toxins which are responsible for food poisoning are heat resistant and can still cause diseases even after reheating of food.
I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:
WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?
Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:
1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.
2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.
3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.
