Question
Nutrient Absorption
Using no more than 13 propositions, describe the process by which breakdown products of foodstuffs are absorbed in the small intestine. You are to link words to phrases or that makes the statement true. So you are to link a Starting Term with a linking phrase in the middle and then an ending term for instance use a Starting Term like amino acids and link a phrase like are absorbed by primary active transport into then add the ending word like intestinal epithelial cells. This statement I dont think is right but giving you a general idea of what is needed.
Starting Term
amino acids
fructose molecules
glucose and galactose
intestinal epithelial cells
large organic polymers
micelles
nucleotide components
fatty acids and glycerides
Linking Phrase
are absorbed by facilitated diffusion into
are absorbed by primary active transport into
are absorbed by simple diffusion into
are shuttled via secondary active transport with Na+ into
can be absorbed from food if first digested to
must combine with bile salts to form
Ending Term
amino acids
fructose molecules
glucose and galactose
intestinal epithelial cells
large organic polymers
micelles
nucleotide components
fatty acids and glycerides
Explanation / Answer
Amino acids are absorbed by primary active transport into intestinal epithelial cells
Fructose molecules are absorbed by facilitated diffusion into intestinal epithelial cells
Glucose and galactose are shuttled via secondary active transport with Na+ into intestinal epithelial cells
Large organic polymers can be absorbed from food if first digested to amino acids
Micelles/Fatty acids and glyceride are absorbed by simple diffusion into intestinal epithelial cells.
Fatty acids and glycerides must combine with bile salts to form micelles
