Answer:

Glucose entering the intestines from the villus.This is by active transport.The latter is defined as the movement of molecules and  solutes from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

All the above options depends on the diffusion gradients from one  higher region to another.e.g oxygen passing from high concentration from outside to lower concentration in blood stream,like wise Co2 from higher concentration from inside to outside,with passive diffusion lipids and water enter the small intestine(note amino acid and glucose,and fructose are different).

Active transport( through sodium dependent transporter) transports glucose to the intestine  from the villus.This is movements against concentration gradient because,glucose molecule are concentrated in intestine,and needed by the cells, in the body.Therefore they must be transported as a fast rate inn the blood .

However the absorption by the villi is very slow,therefore active transport is needed to move these against the concentration gradient into the intestine.And finally the blood.

If this were to be moved by  passive diffusion,the high concentration in the intestine will force this back into the villi

Therefore extra energy is needed by active transport for the glucose molecules to enter the intestine from the villus.

In most cases, the two major climatic factors affecting the distribution of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are _____. In mo
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Water and temperature

Explanation:

Water and temperature are the two most important factors that regulate the distribution of organisms in terrestrial habitats. Water is required for survival by living beings. The availability of water is limited in many habitats such as desert habitats. In such land habitats with water scarcity, the organisms adapted to withstand the limited water availability are found.

Likewise, temperature also affects the distribution of organisms in terrestrial habitats. The presence of temperature conditions below and above the tolerance range of the organisms restricts their geographical distribution. Temperature regulates the enzyme kinetics. Metabolic pathways are catalyzed by enzymes that function under optimal temperature conditions only. Water serves as a medium for metabolic reactions and also regulates body temperature.

How might the allele frequencies change if a new bonobo population moved into the area and gene flow occurred between the fifth
galina1969 [7]

Gene flow is one of the mechanisms that can change the frequencies of alleles by transfer the genes from the gene pool of one population to another. Newly-arrived bonobos will bring the gametes that can reproduce. So, the introduction of new alleles will increase the variability within a population and will allow the new combinations of traits.
