2)secondary active transport protein
3)primary passive transport protein
4) secondary passive transport protein ​

Answer 1

Answer:

2)secondary active transport protein

Explanation:

It occurs in the epithelial cells of the small intestines. The sodium-glucose symporter is found on the Apical membrane of the epithelal cells...

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium-glucose pump is an example of a secondary active transport protein.

Explanation:

• The sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) are responsible for maximizing the absorption of glucose from the intestinal tract.
• It helps in the recovery of glucose from the proximal tubule of the kidney after glomerular filtration.
• It occurs in the epithelial cells of the small intestines. The sodium-glucose symporter is found on the apical membrane of the epithelial cells.
