E) obeys diffusion kinetics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose reabsorption in the kidneys involves the sodium-glucose linked transporter (SGLT) on the apical membrane and the glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) on the basolateral membrane. SGLT uses the sodium gradient to transport glucose into the cell, while GLUT2 facilitates glucose diffusion out of the cell into the bloodstream.
