The polymer-trapping model explains symplastic loading in plants with intermediary-type companion cells, this model makes three prediction; which one of the following prediction is INCORRECT?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Sucrose should be more concentrated in the mesophyll than in the intermediary cells
  2. The enzymes for raffinose and stachyose synthesis should be preferentially located in the intermediary cells
  3. The plasmodesmata linking the bundle sheath cells and the intermediary cells should exclude molecules larger than sucrose
  4. Plasmodesmata between the intermediary cells and sieve elements must be smaller donot allow passage of raffinose and stachyose

A 55-year-old male patient with hypertension has had his blood pressure reasonably well controlled by administration of a thiazide diuretic. During his last visit (6 months ago) his blood pressure was 130/75 mm Hg and his serum creatinine was 1 mg/100 ml. He has been exercising regularly for the past 2 years, but recently has complained of knee pain and began taking large amounts of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. When he arrives at your office, his blood pressure is 155/85 and his serum creatinine is now 2.5 mg/100 ml. Which of the following best explains his increased serum creatinine?
