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

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is; active transport in small intestines and passive transport in blood cells

In passive transport, no energy is required to transport the glucose molecules because they spon6tanosuely move down their concenntrati0n gradient. The transport protein in the blood cell membrane only enables the molecule to pass across the hydrophobic layer of lipid in the membrane and into the cell.

In active transport, energy is required in the transportation of glucose against their concentration gradient (glucose is highly concentrated in the lumen of the intestines than in the bloodstream). Sodium/Potassium (Na+/K+) pumps play a significant role in the transport of glucose. When sodium diffuses back into the cells, they drag along glucose molecules with them across the sodium-glucose transporter protein.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: active transport in small intestines and passive transport in blood cells

Explanation: It is a Passive Form Of Transport In Blood

The light-independent reactions use the sunlight to drive its processes.

Explanation:

This the true statement, because in photosynthesis processes, sunlight is needed to processes happen.

Remember that photosynthesis is a chemical reaction to produce food for the plants. This process take place in the leaves. Also, to this process happen is needed sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

A kit fox lives in the desert and has large ears with greater surface area to prevent overheating. The red fox lives in the forest and has a red coat for camouflauge]

Answers

Answer;

Divergent evolution;

Explanation;

Divergent evolution is the process of two or more related species becoming more and more dissimilar. In this type of evolution groups of species from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.
For example; The red fox and the kit fox. The red fox and the kit fox both have a common ancestor but have gone through the process of divergent evolution. It has adapted to its mixed farmland and forest environment. Its red color helps it to blend in with the trees.
The kit fox is sandy in appearance because it lives in the desert. It also has larger ears than the red fox and its larger ears help the fox release excess body heat in the desert.

Which of the following is a major contributor to acid rain?A. burning fossil fuels
B. using solar cells
C. using windmills
D. using nuclear fission

Answers

Answer:

A. burning fossil fuels

Explanation:

Acid rain is caused, mainly by the emission of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, which are gases commonly released into the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels.

These oxides have the ability to interact with rainwater generating an acidic substance that is expelled from the clouds in the form of rain that has a very acidic pH.

The result of acid rain is the destruction of vegetables, the chemical alteration of water bodies, the death of aquatic animals, the contamination of groundwater and even the emergence of respiratory diseases and the destruction of public heritage.

A) Burning fossil fuels
