Small intestine, pumping in glucose

|
All of the above
|
|
|
Kidney-pumping out glucose
|
|
|
Root hair cells-pumping in mineral ions
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of active transport include the uptake of glucose in the intestine of the human body and the uptake of minerals or ions into the root hair cells of plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of Active Transport Phagocytosis of bacteria by Macrophages. Movement of Ca2+ ions out of cardiac muscle cells. Transportation of amino acids across the intestinal lining in the human gut. Secretion of proteins like enzymes, peptide hormones, and antibodies from different cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three main active transport methods-ion pumps, exocytosis and endocytosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sodium-potassium pump carries out a form of active transport-that is, its pumping of ions against their gradients requires the addition of energy from an outside source. That source is adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the principal energy-carrying molecule of the cell.
