Alterations in membrane transport systems for specific components lead to a number of diseases. In Hartnup disease there is a decrease in transport of neutral amino acids by intestine and renal tubules. Individuals with a decreased glucose uptake from the intestinal tract lack a specific glucose-galactose transporter. In these diseases the transport systems are Na+/(amino acid) or (glucose) co-transporters. A different type of transport system that maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients across the plasma membrane of cells is a symport system involves an enzyme that is an ATPase moves Na+ either into or out of the cell in the membrane hydrolyzes ATP independently of the movement of Na+ and K+. is an electrically neutral system

The following diagram shows three transport membrane proteins found on the membrane of cells in the kidneys: SGLT2, GLUT2 and Na/K ATP Pump. SGLT2 is a co-transporter, which transports 1 glucose into the cell using the sodium gradient established by Na/K ATP Pump. GLUT2 is a passive transport protein. Based on the diagram below, SGLT2 uses which of the following transport mechanism? Passive diffusion Facilitated diffusion Primary Active Transport Secondary Active Transport
