Step 1
In the given figure, the primary active transport is represented by the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. This pump uses ATP to pump sodium ions (Na+) out of the cell and potassium ions (K+) into the cell. Show more…

Active transport: remarks, types and examples - primary pumps: (light-driven pump) ATP-driven pump and the 3 types: P-pump; ABC-pump; V-pump - secondary transporters - Describe transport of glucose into intestinal epithelial cells - How is the internal pH control accomplished? - Neuromuscular junctions
Madhur L.
Based on the diagram below illustrating glucose transport in intestinal epithelial cells: a. Is the glucose that is being co-transported with Na+ being transported via primary or secondary active transport? (2 points) b. Is the cotransport of Na and glucose a representation of a symport or an antiport? (2 points)
Sri K.
Compare primary active transport via ion pumps and secondary active transport via cotransporters. Explain how secondary active transport is dependent on primary active transport, using the sodium-potassium pump as an example.
