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 Tm 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.
