Why sugars can be absorbed by diffusion?
Any chemical (not just sugars) can be absorbed by diffusion if its outside concentration is higher than its inside concentration and the membrane between the outside is permeable to that chemical (either because it has pores large enough for molecules of the chemical to pass or it has a property called "semipermeability" which allows the molecules to effectively temporary "dissolve" in the membrane to pass through it).
Is digested food absorbed by blood under diffusion?
Yes it is.
What type of molecule is the facilitator in facilitated diffusion?
Sugars and amino acids.
What type of molecules are carbohydrates absorbed into the body as?
sugars monosacarids
What life function is directly related to diffusion and osmosis?
Digestions is a life function that is directly related to diffusion and osmosis. The nutrients digested are absorbed and distributed via diffusion and osmosis.
Is fructose absorbed by active transport?
Because the absorption is from a high concentration to low concentration
Amino acids absorbed through two processes of?
active transport and diffusion.... (:
In the small intestine the products of digestion are absorbed by both diffusion and... what?
active transport
What are the functions of facilitated diffusion?
the point of facilitated diffusion is to help move sugars and amino acids through the cell membrane the ready set <3
What are two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport?
glucose and galactose
What happens when large intestine is missing?
In short: sugars and fluids are poorly absorbed.
What sugars can be absorbed in the small intestine without further digestion?
Glucose and fructose.
