Document Summary

Bsci207 - lecture 24 - osmoregulation in animals and plants. Glucose transport (finishing up nutrient assimilation in animals): Basal surface = not exposed; attached to rest of the body (basal tissue) Apical (tip/outer) surface is exposed to intestinal lumen. Glucose goes into blood through facilitated diffusion. Sites of glucose binding become saturated so rate of diffusion levels off. Na+ actively pumped out of cell (from low na+ concentration to high na+ concentration) Low amount of concentration inside cell sets up gradient so that symporter (which binds to na+ and glucose) can follow na+ gradient to epithelial cells. Glucose released into blood through uniporter (facilitated diffusion along already present gradient) Glucose binds to carrier protein inside epithelial cell. *lower glucose concentration inside cell, compared to blood (outside of. Glucose transport in & out of most cells in body (excluding small intestine & kidneys) cell) so gradient favors passive diffusion don"t involve active transport.
