Question

Absorption of a solution against a concentration gradient by the intestinal epithelium is accompanied by?
(a) Osmotic pressure
(b) Active transport
(c) Brownian movement
(d) Donnan equilibrium

Answer 1

Answer:

Active transport enables these cells to take up salts from this dilute solution against the direction of the concentration gradient.

Answer 2

Absorption of the solution against concentration gradient:

• Option “B” is correct i.e. Active transport.

• Absorption of the solution against a concentration gradient by intestinal epithelium is accompanied by active transport.

• In cellular biology, active transport is the undertaking of molecules across a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport necessitates cellular energy to achieve this movement.
