active transport) of the following food breakdown products if their movement is into the blood capillaries or the lymph capillaries (lacteals). Match the absorptive mechanism the nutrient destination with the nutrient. accharides Choose monos fatty acids and glycerol [Choose] # amino acids I Choose l water osmosis to the blood facleared ditusion diffusion to the tood actve transport to the blood dwuslan followed by exocytosis, some to The blood. mosi aciitated difusian and tcotransport to the blood Na. Ca2 ci I Choose J

Explanation / Answer

for MONOSACCHARIDES -absorption mechanism is from intestinal lumen via facillitated diffusion and co-transporters to the blood .

For FATTY ACIDS AND GLYCEROL- broken down and moves to small intestine then abosrption takes place via facillitated diffusion. (diffusion without ATP)

For AMINO ACIDS -absorption takes place via active co transport with h+ ions via a transporter called pepT1., into the small intestinal epithelial cells.

For water -simple absorption occurs via osmosis to the blood.

For Na.Ca2- that is for sodium and calcium transport so , they are always absorbed viz antitransporters i.e.;diffusion followed by exocytosis , some to the blood .where ca goes out of the cell and Na enters inside the cell.

For Cl ions -absorption simply occurs via diffusion the blood.
