Question

Place the H pump and the HCO3- exchange pumps on the correct membrane for Type A and Type B intercalated cells found at the distal convoluted tubule. True or False

Answer 1

True. In Type A intercalated cells, the H pump is located on the apical membrane and the HCO3- exchange pump is located on the basolateral membrane. In Type B intercalated cells, the H pump is located on the basolateral membrane and the HCO3- exchange pump is located on the apical membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Type A intercalated cells found at the distal convoluted tubule, the H pump is located on the apical membrane while the HCO3- exchange pump is located on the basolateral membrane.

For Type B intercalated cells found at the distal convoluted tubule, the H pump is located on the basolateral membrane while the HCO3- exchange pump is located on the apical membrane.
