Active Transport & Co-transport | AQA A Level Biology Revision …
Oct 17, 2024 · A well-known example of a co-transporter protein can be found on the cell surface membrane of the epithelial cells lining the mammalian ileum. This specific co-transport protein is involved in the absorption of glucose and sodium ions as follows: The active transport of sodium ions from the epithelial cell into the blood lowers the sodium ion ...
Co-transport of Glucose in the Ileum Revision notes | A-Level …
The co-transport of glucose involves three different proteins: Sodium-potassium pumps - These actively transport sodium (Na + ) and potassium (K + ) ions. Sodium-glucose co-transporter proteins - These use facilitated diffusion to transport Na + ions and glucose molecules.

what does co-transport do? what is the final part of the small intestine? what is the concentration of glucose like in the ileum + what does this mean? what happens to the glucose because of this? what can also be transported by co-transport? what ions are actively transported out of epithelial cells into the blood?
Describe how glucose is transported into epithelial cells in the ileum ...
Together, the Na+ and glucose molecule are transported into the epithelial cell by the Na+/glucose pump, down the concentration gradient. This is called co-transport. The glucose molecule then moves down its concentration gradient from the epithelial cell into the blood by facilitated diffusion through a special carrier protein.
4.5 Co-transport and absorption of glucose in the ileum - Quizlet
As carbohydrates and proteins are being digested continuously, there is normally a greater concentration of glucose and amino acids within the ileum than in the blood. There is therefore a concentration gradient down which glucose moves by facilitated diffusion from …
4.5 co-transport + absorption of glucose in the ileum
Study with Quizlet and memorise flashcards containing terms like what do the epithelial cells lining the ileum have and why is this important?, what is an adaptation to increase transport across membranes?, what must there be in order to absorb glucose …
4.5 Co-transport and absorption of glucose in the ileum
As carbohydrates and proteins are being digested continously there is normally a greater concentration of glucose and amino acids within the ileum and the blood. Thetre is a concentration gradient down which moves the glucose via facilitated diffusion.
Co-transport of Glucose in the Ileum Flashcards | A-Level …
What is the role of the sodium-glucose co-transporter proteins in the co-transport of glucose? The sodium-glucose transporter proteins move sodium ions from a high concentration in the lumen of the ileum to a low concentration in the ileum epithelial cells. …
4.5: Co-Transport and absorption of glucose in the Ileum …
Sodium ions diffuse into the epithelial cells down this conc gradient through a co-transport protein in the membrane. As sodium ions diffuse down they carry either amino acids or glucose molecules into the cell with them; The glucose/amino acids pass into the blood plasma by facilitated diffusion.
Co-transport and the absorption of glucose in the ileum Flashcards
Diffusion results in a dynamic equilibrium which means that not all available glucose and amino acids would be absorbed, instead they are actively transported, by a mechanism called co-transport.
