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.

Where is the energy shown in the equation transferred as a result of photosynthesis?
Leto [7]

The right answer is into sugars.

Photosynthesis aims to create energy (in the form of carbohydrate) from the

light energy from the sun. The organisms that use the photosynthesis

mechanism are phototropic because they make organic materials from

inorganic materials.

Three main levels of neural integration operate in the somatosensory system. Which level involves the spinal cord?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: Circuit level

Explanation:

The processing of the information in the spinal cord involves the circuit level. The processing of the circuit level involves the transmission of information in ascending order.

These pathway delivers the information to the regions of the cerebral cortex  in the form of impulses. In this way the information reaches the somatosensory organs of the body.

These impulses helps in localization and perception of the stimulus.
