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.

How does the anatomy of the endocrine and integumentary systems correlate with the sense organs? What role does radiology and ut

1. Every framework has their doing in arranging our body capacities. Regardless of whether it's the heart drawing blood through our body and lungs boosting oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide. Endocrine gives the correspondence through hormones; secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream and uses blood vessels as information channels. It stimulates sebaceous glands whereas the sex hormones affect the distribution of subcutaneous fat. In addition, the endocrine system regulates metabolism, growth and development of tissues, and sexual functions. The endocrine and integumentary systems correlate with the sense organs, which react to heat, cold, vibration, texture, and pressure. When such senses are produced by the sense organs they react to the senses and send the information to the endocrine system and therefore hormones are released which causes the mood swings according to the situation. For example, it reacts to the body with pleasure or discomfort related to the senses.

2. Atomic solution and radiology bring the procedures which analyze and regard maladies by utilizing radiopharmaceuticals as the pictures of body organs or envision certain infections. This involves radiations which are used to diagnose, treat and prevent certain diseases. In the present era, these procedures are the best and hence the most effective life-saving techniques. They are safe and painless as compared to other surgical treatments involving operations. They don’t even require anesthesia. Both of these techniques are used in diagnosing a disease and monitoring the course of an illness. They are then used for the treatment of any disease as well. Diseases such as cancer or heart disease are therefore treated by radiation technology.<span>

In sexual reproduction how do the offspring compare to the parents
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Well, if you want to get scientific about it, when two people have a kid, parts of what make them who they are go to that child, and the kid becomes a part of the parents. Basically, they have similar DNA. 
 A non scientific description of that would be they all have similar personalities because the mom and dad passed on some of them to the child. The child would be most alike to their parents by the subconscious actions they take, for example: how they take a shower. For kids who have step parents (me being one), if they grew up with that parent, they eventually adopt things the parent find interests in. Basically, the answer is in the subconscious actions they take and their personalities. <span />
