E)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tubular reabsorption involves different types of transport mechanisms such as active transport, cotransport, passive transport, and countertransport. Active transport refers to the movement of solutes against their concentration gradients with the use of energy, while cotransport involves the movement of two or more substances simultaneously in the same direction. Passive transport occurs when solutes move down their concentration gradients, and countertransport is the movement of two substances in opposite directions. All these mechanisms are involved in tubular reabsorption.
