The process which allows the absorption of glucose across the intestinal wall is entirely passive in which Na+ and lucose are counter transported. 12. The only reason Na+ and K+ are unequal across the cell membrane is because of the Na+/K+ pump. False, iney are uncquat acress the ceit membrane because inc Nat /kt pumps are alwaus constant in alicells Which I( Wnat 'creates incqtaliry that will target intracellular receptors 13. Insulin and epinephrine are large and polar regulatory molecules tExplanation / Answer
Ans 11:
False
Explanation:
Absorption of glucose across the intestinal wall is not entirely passive.
Glucose actually uses the energy created by flow of Na+ across the membrane.
When blood glucose level is low, then the absorption process is mainly passive. When blood has higher concentration of glucose than intestinal cells, then the process is active.
