Answer 2

The selective uptake of iodine from the blood by the thyroid gland is termed active transport.

Explanation:

• Because of this active transport, iodide concentrations inside thyroid follicular cells are 20 to 50 times greater than in plasma.

• A healthy adult's body has 15 to 20 mg of iodine, 70%  to 80% of which is found in the thyroid.

• The sodium/ iodine symporter (NIS) in the thyroid cell's basolateral membrane actively transports iodide into the thyroid through a concentration gradient of 20-40% that of plasma.
