question 109

Multiple Choice

Which is NOT a transport mechanism typically seen in renal tubular epithelial cells?

• A)cotransport proteins in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule that move Na+ and glucose from the proximal tubule into epithelial cells
• B)transport proteins that move glucose by facilitated diffusion from inside of proximal tubule cells into the renal interstitial fluid
• C)ion channels that allow Na+ to move by diffusion from the lumen of the proximal tubule into epithelial cells
• D)Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of proximal tubule epithelial cells that move Na⁺ from inside the cell into the tubule and K⁺ from the tubule lumen into the cell
• E)countertransport proteins that move Na⁺ into proximal tubule epithelial cells while moving H⁺ from the cells into the lumen
