Hello, I do not understand this. May I get help with this physiology question? Steps leading to the correct answer would be helpful.Question: Pierre G. just accidentally ingested a substance in the lab that he shouldn't have (that's what he gets for eating in the lab!). He quickly googles what to expect, and he sees that the substance blocks the Na+/K+ pumps on the basolateral membrane of his small intestine's enterocytes. Yikes! He asks you, his favorite physiologist, what to expect. You tell Pierre the most likely outcome is… (see image) **Transcription for Educational Website**---1. **Extracellular Na+ concentration will increase from its typical levels**2. **Intracellular Na+ will build up, and fats won't be co-transported into his cells**3. **He won't be able to taste salty foods any more**4. **Intracellular Na+ will build up, and sugars & amino acids would not be co-transported into the cells.**---Note: This image consists of textual information explaining potential consequences related to sodium ion (Na+) concentration imbalances in cells. There are no graphs or diagrams present in the image.

The Na+/K+ pump or the Na-K-ATPase present on the basolateral membrane of enterocytes plays a major…
