Below is a diagram of a gut epithelial cell. Nat/glucose symporters are located on the edge of the cell facing the gut lumen. Glucose uniporters and Na-/K+ pumps (antiporters) are located on the other edge of the cell. What would happen to the cell if the Na+/K+ pumps stopped functioning? GUT LUMEN glucose Na low glucose apical domain of plasma membrane covering a microvillus concentration GLUCOSE IS ACTIVELY TAKEN UP FROM GUT MA Na-driven ju glucose symport tight junctions glucose Na intestinal epithelium lateral domain of plasma membrane high glucose concentration passive glucose uniport GLUCOSE IS PASSIVELY RELEASED FOR USE BY OTHER TISSUE'S domain Na pump glucose concentration EXTRACELLULAR FLUID Glucase would build up in the cell, and be unable to exit. The concentration of Nat would drastically drop in the call The call would be unable to bring glucose into the cell, because the electrochemical gradient of Nat across the membrane from the gut lumen would be lost glucose
