The energy requirement for glucose reabsorption is used to A) run the Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase pump B) run the Na⁺-glucose co-transport carrier C) synthesize renin, which controls glucose reabsorption D) maintain the T_m for glucose E) produce aldosterone-induced protein, which increases the permeability of the proximal tubular cells to glucose

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy requirement for glucose reabsorption is primarily used to run the Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase pump, which creates the sodium gradient necessary for the Na⁺-glucose co-transport carrier to function.
