Question

A friend approaches you about a multilevel marketing, nutritional product and ask you if it is worth it. He shows you a calcium supplement that is claiming to have a “special isotonic quality that improves absorption” from the intestine to the bloodstream. Using concentration gradients, diffusion, and/or active and passive transport, explain if the supplement is beneficial or if it is a scam

Answer 1

- Here - Isotonic refers to equal solute content in Supplements as well as in the body blood. - It means Content can move freely from '1' membrane to other but this does not imply anything about improved absorption - As molecules tend to move from higher - Concentration gradient. - This supplement Gn not be beneficial on the way.
