Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active sodium absorption at the basolateral border of the epithelial cell is necessary for the absorption of all of these molecules (water, glucose, galactose, and amino acids). The movement of sodium ions provides the energy required for the absorption of these molecules through co-transport mechanisms. Therefore, all of these molecules are linked to active sodium absorption at the basolateral border of the epithelial cell.
