absorption of glucose Flashcards
1
Q
step 1
A
sodium potassium pump uses an active transport transport sodium out of cell into blood and potassium into cell from blood
2
Q
step 2
A
there is a low concentration of sodium in the cell
3
Q
step 3
A
facilitated diffusion occurs as a co- transport is used with the help of a carrier protein
4
Q
step 4
A
this diffuses a glucose molecule and sodium into the cell together
5
Q
step 5
A
as there is a high concentration of glucose in the cell diffusion occurs taking glucose from cell to blood
6
Q
step 6
A
the glucose then goes to tissues for energy.
