Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.
The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.
Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells. The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.

Species A and B would be the most similar because there is only one mutation between the two of them located in the first codon.
Plasma contains proteins (to help blood to clot), and it transports substances through the blood stream. The plasma also contains glucose and other dissolved nutrients. It can also carry water, salts, and enzymes. Plasma has a very light yellow color, such as the color of straw.
The main purpose: is to<u> transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins</u> to different parts of the body!
