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.

The condition in which the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment near or over the internal cervical os is _________
Maksim231197 [3]

The condition in which the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment near or over the internal cervical  is Placenta previa.

<h3>What is placenta previa?</h3>

Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta covers all or part of the opening to the cervical aperture, which sits at the top of the vagina, and lies very low in the uterus. One in 200 pregnancies results in placenta previa.

<h3>What is called when the placenta is attached to the uterus?</h3>

The syndrome known as placenta increta refers to the placenta's abnormally strong attachment to the uterus and subsequent embedding in the muscle wall of the organ. A disorder known as placenta percreta.

<h3>When placenta percreta occurs?</h3>

placenta percreta occurs when the placenta connects to the uterus and spreads across it, perhaps affecting surrounding organs (such as the bladder).

Describe the function of sodium and potassium in the generation of an action<br> potential.
larisa [96]

Answer:

The inward flow of sodium ions increases the concentration of positively charged cations in the cell and causes depolarization, where the potential of the cell is higher than the cell's resting potential. The sodium channels close at the peak of the action potential, while potassium continues to leave the cell.
