Describe what is involved in active and passive tubular reabsorption.

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following will not be considered passive tubular reabsorption. Is it answer choice. A diffusion answer. Choice B facilitated diffusion, answer choice C osmosis or answer choice datp A driven reabsorption. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices will not be considered passive tubular reabsorption. So we can recall that when we are discussing reabsorption or the movement of molecules from one area to another, specifically that passive tubular reabsorption, we know that the term passive means that the reabsorption of those molecules does not require any form of energy. And looking at our answer choices, we can see that answer choice D says A TP Ace driven reabsorption which means that this type of reabsorption is active because of the use of that A TP Ace driving the reabsorption. So answer choice D would not be considered passive tubular reabsorption making it the correct answer. Since answer choice, a diffusion answer choice B facilitated diffusion and answer choice C osmosis are all forms of passive tubular reabsorption because they do not require energy. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
