Choose the option which correctly describes the mechanism of absorption of digested products: (1) Water - Facilitated diffusion (2) Glucose, Na+ - Secondary active transport (3) Fructose - Simple diffusion (4) Fatty acids - Primary active transport ​

Answer :

Answer:

a

Explanation:

The small intestine is the principal organ for absorption of nutrients. Amino acids like glycine, monosaccharides like glucose absorbed into the blood by active absorption. Fructose is absorbed by facilitated absorption while Na+ is by active absorption in the small intestine. Bile acids are absorbed in ileum region by active absorption. Fatty acids, cholesterol are absorbed as chylomicrons by lacteals and then drain into bloodstream. Maltose is broken down into glucose by maltase then that glucose is absorbed by simple diffusion in the small intestine. So, the right option is (A).
