Which of the following occurs along with glucose transpo into a cell:

A
Sodium sympo
B
Sodium antepo
C
Potassium transpo
D
Amino acid transpo
High-Yield Explanation
A i.e. Sodium sympoGlucose and Na+ share the same Co-transpoer (or sympo) - the sodium dependent glucose transpoer: (SGLT - sodium glucose co- transpoer)Q.Sodium dependent glucose transpoer (sympo)- Since the intracellular Nat concentration is low in intestinal & renal cells, Nat moves into the cells along its concentration gradient.- Glucose moves with the Na+ & released into the cell.- The Na+ is then transpoed to lateral intercellular spaces & the glucose is transpoed by GLUT-2 into the interstitium & then into capillaries.- This is an example of secondary active transpo i.e. the energy for glucose transpo is provided by the active transpo of Na+ out of cells.Also know: Glucose mechanism also transpo glactoseQ. Fructose utilizes different mechanism, it is transpoed by facilitated diffusionQ.Glucose is incorporated in ORS to facilitate Na* absorptionQ.
