Which of the following statements is most likely true of a protein that cotransports glucose and sodium ions into the intestinal cells of an animal?

#XL - Q Biochemistry
  1. Sodium and glucose compete for the same binding site in the cotransporter.

  2. Glucose entering the cell down its concentration gradient provides energy for uptake of sodium ions against the electrochemical gradient.

  3. Sodium ions can move down their electrochemical gradient through the cotransporter whether glucose is present outside the cell.

  4. A substance that blocks sodium ions from binding to the cotransport protein will also block the transport of glucose.

The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similar skeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones in whales have very different shapes and proportions. However, genetic data suggest that all three kinds of organisms diverged from a common ancestor at about the same time. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these data?
