Which of these is responsible for establishing the concentration gradient needed for the selective reabsorption of glucose and amino acids?
|
|
co transporter protein
|
|
|
osmotic gradient
|
|
|
sodium-potassium pump
|
|
|
sodium-calcium pump
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Na+ K+-ATPase pump maintains the gradient of a higher concentration of sodium extracellularly and a higher level of potassium intracellularly.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is required to move sodium ions against their concentration gradient outside the cell. ATP is required to allow entry of potassium ions inside the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sodium-potassium pump functions to pump ions into the cells and ions out of the cell.
