Q

Absorption of glucose in the ileum

A
  1. sodium ions are actively transported out of the epithelial cells by the sodium potassium pump into the blood (potassium moves in from the blood)
  2. this maintains a higher concentration of sodium in the lumen of the intestine than in the epithelial cells
  3. sodium diffuses into the epithelial cells down the concentration gradient through a co transport protein
  4. as the sodium is diffused through this protein they carry a glucose molecule into the cell
  5. the glucose passes into the blood plasma by facilitated diffusion using another carrier
    - the sodium concentration gradient powers the movement of glucose not ATP
    - indirect active transport

94
Q

fix law

A

rate of diffusion = surface area x difference in concentration/ length of diffusion pathway

95
Q

stages of active transport

A
  1. there are carrier proteins along the plasma membrane and they bind to the molecule/ ion to be transported on one side of it
  2. they bind to the receptor sites on the carrier proteins
  3. on the inside ATP binds to the protein, causing it to split to ADP + Pi - this causes the protein molecule to change shape and open on the opposite side of the membrane
  4. molecule/ ion is released to the other side of the membrane
  5. phosphate molecule is released from protein causing protein to revert to its original shape
    - phosphate recombines with ADP to form ATP during respiration
96
Q

increasing the rate of movement across ileum membrane

A
  • microvilli
  • provide more surface area for the insertion of carrier proteins
  • increase transport - increase the number of protein channels and charrier proteins at any areas of a membrane
97
Q

role of diffusion in absorption in the ileum

A
  • greater concentration of glucose and amino acids within the ileum than the blood
  • the blood is constantly moving and the glucose absorbed is constantly being used through respiration
  • helps to maintain the concentration gradient between the inside of the ileum and the blood
  • rate of facilitated diffusion across the epithelial cell surface membrane increases
98
Q

role of active transport in absorption of the ileum

A
  • diffusion should results in the concentration being equal - means that not all available glucose and amino acids can be absorbed and some passed through the body
  • BUT this doesn’t happen as it is being actively transported
  • this means that all glucose and amino acids are absorbed into the blood
