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.

Use the information from Parts B and C to solve this problem. If a rabbit of genotype AaBb is bred to a rabbit of genotype AaBb,
Kipish [7]

The question is incomplete and the complete question is

Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (aabb) with 6-cm ears is mated to a true-breeding male (AABB) with 16-cm ears.

Answer:

AABb or AaBB

Explanation:

We know that,

aabb genotype - 6 cm

AABB genotype- 16-cm

To calculate the length of earlobe contributed by each allele in a genotype is :

1. length of aabb/4 or 6/4= 1.5 cm (a and b contribute for 1.5 cm each)

2. Length of AABB/4 or 16/4= 4 cm (A and B contribute for 4 cm each)

Now to have the earlobe to be 13.5 cm long then the genotype must be

13.5 = 4+4+4+1.5 or A+A+B+b or A+a+B+B

Therefore, the genotype will be-either AABb or AaBB

Please... I need help!!!
Gwar [14]

Answer: One type of map uses the cytogenetic location to describe a gene’s position. The cytogenetic location is based on a distinctive pattern of bands created when chromosomes are stained with certain chemicals. Another type of map uses the molecular location, a precise description of a gene's position on a chromosome. The molecular location is based on the sequence of DNA building blocks (base pairs) that make up the chromosome. Buttt I don’t know if this is the answer your looking for. But I hope this helps in a way.

Which of the following statements is true?
QveST [7]

Answer:

3- As cells get larger, the volume increases more than the surface area

Explanation:

As a cell develops, it grows larger and extends the cell membrane. Sadly, the volume rises greater than that of the surface area, and therefore the relative surface area usable to transfer resources to a unit cell volume declines gradually.
