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.

What is a DNA probe?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

In molecular biology, a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length which can be radioactively or fluorescently labeled. It can then be used in DNA or RNA samples to detect the presence of nucleotide substances that are complementary to the sequence in the probe.DNA probes are stretches of single-stranded DNA used to detect the presence of complementary nucleic acid sequences (target sequences) by hybridization. DNA probes are usually labelled, for example with radioisotopes, epitopes, biotin or fluorophores to enable their detection.

En biología molecular, una sonda de hibridación es un fragmento de ADN o ARN de longitud variable que puede marcarse de forma radiactiva o fluorescente. Luego puede usarse en muestras de ADN o ARN para detectar la presencia de sustancias nucleotídicas que son complementarias a la secuencia en la sonda. Las sondas de ADN son tramos de ADN monocatenario utilizados para detectar la presencia de secuencias complementarias de ácido nucleico (secuencias diana) por hibridación Las sondas de ADN generalmente están marcadas, por ejemplo, con radioisótopos, epítopos, biotina o fluoróforos para permitir su detección.
