7) Glucose is a chemical that is fulfills a wide range of functions within organisms. The story of
glucose begins with a series or reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide,
water and energy from light are the inputs required for photosynthesis. How many carbon dioxide
molecules are required to produce one…
Microvilli increase the surface area of intestinalcells, providing more efficient absorption of nutrients.Microvilli are shown in profile and cross section in FigureQ11–1. From the dimensions given in the figure, estimatethe increase in surface area that microvilli provide (forthe portion of the plasma membrane in contact with thelumen of the gut) relative to the corresponding surface of acell with a “flat” plasma membrane.
Please answer both, thank you

- When William H. was helping victims after a devastating earthquake in a region not prepared to swiftly set up adequate temporary shelter, he developed severe diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?arrow_forwardall the following statements which relate to apical surface modifications(brush border) of epithelial cells are true except. * these are anchored in a dense mat of microfilaments in the apical cytoplasm called the terminal, lateral web. The apical surface of cells in intestine is usually covered with microvilli. the microfilaments can contract, By interacting with cytoplasmic myosin, then caused the shortening of the microvilli. cores of microvilli are composed of parallel actin microfilaments.arrow_forwardTight junctions are protein junctions that provide a water-tight seal between cells. They ensure that materials must enter the cells (through diffusion or active transport) to pass through the tissue. Tight junctions are characteristic of cells lining the digestive tract, where materials are required to pass through cells (not between them) before they can travel into the blood. Can someone explain more clearly why lining the digestive tract?arrow_forward
