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.

Compare and contrast the elevated temperature of someone who is exercising vigorously and someone who has an infection.
Fudgin [204]

Answer: seen below

Explanation:

In vigorous exercise, your brain and body do everything they can to cool you off by increase the flow of blood to the skin where it can cool down with the aid of sweating , while in someone who has an infection they push the temperature inside your body to extreme levels by strengthening your immune system resistance to the infection, the immune system deliberately raises your body temperature as part of its strategy to kill the infection attacking you.

Explain why scientific methods are important and why there is not one establish way to conduct an investigation
Neporo4naja [7]

Without using the scientific method, it would be much harder to determine a factor that could cause your experiment to fail. By sticking to only one of the methods you could easily destroy your experiment without the background search needed or the materials planned out.
