Doctors use a lactose tolerance test to find out if a person is lactose intolerant. In this test,
the person is given a solution of lactose to drink. Blood glucose concentration is then
measured over the next two hours.

on a man who was lactose intolerant. The results for the first hour are shown in the table.

Q8.
The diagram shows one method by which amino acids are absorbed from the small
intestine into the blood. They are co-transported into the epithelial cell with sodium ions (Na+) at
point X on the diagram. Normally, the concentration of sodium ions inside the epithelial cell is
low.
Source: adapted from M. ROWLAND,
Biology (University of Bath Science 16-19) (Nelson Thornes) 1992.
Dinitrophenol (DNP) prevents oxidative phosphorylation. When treated with DNP, the sodiumpotassium pump at Y no longer works. As a result, the concentration of sodium ions in the cell
rises and amino acid absorption stops.
(i)
Explain why pump Y will not work in the presence of DNP.
