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.
Are fats absorbed by active transport or passive transport?
Fats are absorbed mainly by passive transport in the small intestine. This process involves the diffusion of fatty acids and monoglycerides across the intestinal epithelium and into the bloodstream without the need for energy input.
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.
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.
Is lipid absorption active transport?
No, lipid absorption is primarily a passive process. It occurs through simple diffusion in the small intestine, where lipids are broken down into smaller molecules and then absorbed into the bloodstream. Some specialized transport proteins may facilitate the absorption of certain lipids, but it is not considered active transport.
What organ is needed for nutrition?
Small Intestine
Where is the sucrase most active?
First part of the small intestine
Which part of the digestive system is the major location for absorption of the end products of digestion?
Once food passes out of the stomach, enzymes get to work on the nutrients in the small intestine, breaking them into smaller products. It is also in the small intestine where substances are absorbed into the bloodstream. This absorption takes place in tiny, finger-like structures called villi. These line the walls of the intestine, and are ideal for the diffusion and active transport of molecules.
