| Front | Describe the absorption of glucose/amino acids by co-transport in the ileum. |
|---|---|
| Back | - sodium potassium ATPase actively transports 3 Na+ from epithelial cell into blood - and 2 K+ from blood into epithelial cell - maintains concentration gradient allowing - provide energy for co-transport of glucose against concentration gradient using the same carrier protein - glucose diffuses by facilitated diffusion from epithelial cell into blood Look at Diagram in Notes |
