There are many cells in your body that use pumps to move molecules. For example, your nerve cells (neurons) would not send messages to your brain unless you had protein pumps moving molecules by active transport. The sodium-potassium pump (Figure below) is an example of an active transport pump! Have a nice day

Answer:

The most common example of a molecular pump in the human body is the pump for sodium and potassium.

Explanation:

Sodium ions and ATP bind to the pump to use energy to change the shape. The sodium then leaves and the potassium can now bind due to the shape change. The potassium ions are then released and the pump goes back to normal for the cycle to repeat again.

Answer:

The easiest argument is the next one:

Suppose phytochemicals are like money. If I put you in a phone cabin with a lot of money and give you 30 sec to be there collecting as much money as you can, at the end you will collect not all the money and a lot of money will be lost. The same happens whit phytochemicals in supplements there are so many that your body can't use them all.

And other thing is that phytochemicals in supplements comes so concentrated that your body will be overstimulated to take this phytochemicals and that changes your normal digestion, in the time it may looks good...but if you don't take supplements anymore, your body will feel the lost and the physical results would be awull.
