Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei

ns that transport glucose against its concentration gradient. These proteins couple the movement of glucose to the movement of sodium down its concentration gradient. Red blood cells have transporter proteins embedded in their membranes. When bound by a glucose molecule, these proteins change shape and allow glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Based on this information, what type of transport is used for glucose in blood and intestinal cells?
A.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.
B.
Blood cells take in glucose by active transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.
C.
Blood cells take in glucose by passive transport and intestinal cells take in glucose by active transport.
D.
Both blood and intestinal cells take in glucose by passive transport.

active transport in small intestines and passive transport in blood cells

Sphinxa [80]2 years ago

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Plasma membrane has different transport proteins that transport large, polar and charged molecules that cannot be passed through hydrophobic membrane.

In intestinal cells, glucose is transported against its concentration gradient (from higher to lower concentration), with the help of transporters. It is known as active transport as energy is required for uphill transport (against the concentration) of glucose.

In blood cells, glucose is transported along with its concentration gradient (from higher to lower concentration) by carrier proteins. It is known as passive transport as no energy is required for the downhill (along the concentration) transport of glucose.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, Gastrula

Explanation:

Gastrula has three layers of cell and it is the phase in which single layered blastula matures and get converted into multilayered structure.  

However, Morula is formed after the formation of blastula through the process of blastulation. In the Morula phase, blastomers get arranged in a spherical shape after the zygote split. And zygote is formed at a very early stage of fertilization .

Thus  , gastrula is the correct answer as it is the stage which comes after zygote and morula and thus get developed into more compact mass of cells.

In a species of chickens, incomplete dominance between alleles for black (B) and white(w) feathers
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.

According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:

BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1

BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.
