How is active transport important to the organism?
it helps take in glucose in the small intestine.
In the small intestine the products of digestion are absorbed by both diffusion and... what?
active transport
where does active transport takes place which part of the cell?
Active transport takes place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed from the intestine and into the bloodstream. More specifically, it is the structures known as villi that contain the protein receptors necessary for active transport to take place. The process also happens in the nephrons of the kidneys, where glucose and water/ions are selectively reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
Is active transport vital to living organisms?
Yes it is. There are many examples of active transport in living organisms.1. Plant roots absorb minerals from the soil water surrounding them by active transport.2. In the Human body, the glucose formed during digestion passes from the small intestine into the blood stream by active transport.
What is a similarity between a plant root hair cell and an animal small intestine cell?
Both cell linings does active transport. Epitelial cells in root active transport nutrient such as ions into the root whereas epithelium cells in the small intestines.
Difference between osmosis and active transport?
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
How are fats absorbed in the small intestine?
The smaller fat chains can do diffusion, but the larger ones have to do endocytosis.
How does endocytosis differ from active transport?
Active transport utilizes transport proteins within the cellular membrane. Endocytosis occurs through an envagination of the cellular membrane itself to form a vessicle. Active transport is for transporting small molecules in and out of the cell while endo and exocytosis are for transporting large molecules in and out of the cell.
Why is Mitochondria compared to the small intestine?
The mitochondria in every cell are like a cells digestive system because they take nutrients from their surroundings and create energy about of them. People could not like without a digestive system and mitchondria. The energy that all animals need to survive is called ATP.
The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient?
transport
What organ is needed for nutrition?
Small Intestine
Where is the sucrase most active?
First part of the small intestine
