Summary Introduction
To determine:
Examples of cotransport.
Introduction:
Coupled transport or cotransport is the movement of two molecules in the same direction. The carrier or transport protein which carries out the cotransport process does not possess ATPase (Adenosine Triphosphatase) activity.

What would this person notice about changes to their physiological filtration? (Answer a and b)arrow_forwardCholestyramine is an anion-exchange resin used by clinicians to lower serum cholesterol in patients. This oral medication forms insoluble complexes with bile salts in theintestine, thus preventing their reabsorption. Explain themechanism by which cholestyramine lowers serum cholesterol levels.arrow_forwardUntreated diabetes leads the body to mobilize glucose stores and break down fats. If the issue is that blood glucose is too high, why does this happen? a. Intracellular stores of glucose are very low and the cells feel starved b. All of the above explain why this happens c. Most of the glucose leaves through the kidneys since glucose has exceeded Tmax d. Circulating fat stores are low, which promotes lipolysis e. A lack of insulin results in chronic sympathetic drive, using up all the blood glucosearrow_forward

A. Potassium will not flow out of the cell B. Potassium will flow into the cell along its concentration gradient C. Potassium will flow out of the cell along its concentration gradient D. Both A & B are correctarrow_forwardThe characteristics of vitamin P include the followings except: Select one: a. It increases the level of hyaluronidase which prevents the oxidation of ascorbic acid and adrenaline, as result it increases the strength of the blood vessels and capillaries b. It is related to flavonoids and phenolic compounds c. It decreases the capillary fragility and their permeability d. Vitamin P acts synergistically with ascorbic acidarrow_forward

- Hyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone release) can be caused by many disease states including tumours in the adrenal gland. By now, we should be familiar with how this will affect sodium balance and blood pressure, but how would hyperaldosteronism affect potassium levels and why? Select one potassium effect (a or b) and one cause (c-f). a. The patient will become hyperkalemic. O b. The patient will become hypokalemic. O c. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. O e. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct by increasing expression of EnaCs, sodium/potassium exchangers, and…arrow_forwardAn increase in calcium concentration can be associated with an increase in stomach acidity. This process is similar to the processes involved in neurotransmitter and insulin release. How is calcium associated with increased stomach acid? a. Calcium binds to the alpha subunit of a G protein activating proton pumps already on the membrane. b. Calcium is pumped out of the cell by an ATPase and as a result this lowers the pH of the gut. c. Calcium influx into the cell allows vesicles containing proton pumps on their membranes to fuse with the cellular membrane. d. Calcium influx into the cell allows vesicles filled with protons to fuse with the cellular membrane. e. Calcium binds to acetylcholine receptors on Parietal cells and opens gated proton channels releasing protons from the cytoplasm to outside the cell.arrow_forwardIn an individual with very low blood pressure orcirculatory shock, blood flow to the cells is very poor,resulting in increased lactic acid.
