Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coupling of glucose and Na⁺ transport into the intestinal epithelial cell is an example of symport, as both molecules move in the same direction across the cell membrane, from the lumen of the intestine to the cytoplasm of the cell. Facilitated diffusion refers to the movement of molecules across the membrane from a high to a low concentration, with the help of specific carrier proteins, but without the input of energy. Antiport refers to the movement of two molecules in opposite directions, while endocytosis refers to the uptake of material by a cell by invagination of its plasma membrane.
