What is different about the absorption of the products of fat digestion compared to other products?
The absorption of amino acids, simple sugars (such as glucose), vitamins and minerals involves active transport processes. in contrast, the products of fat (fatty acids) digestion are lipid-soluble molecules and are able to diffuse easily through the membranes of the intestinal cells.
What do intestinal cells do?
They maximise absorption of digested food into the blood
What happens to glucose that is transported into the intestinal epithelial cells?
It is carried into the bloodstream by active transport not facilitated diffusion
Accumulation of amino acids and sugars in animal cells occurs?
coupled transport
What can transport monoglycerides and long-chain fatty acids through the intestine to the microvilli of cells?
Chylomicrons

What cell lines the small intestine assembles fats?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (organelles) cells are responsible for absorption, synthesis, and transport of fats (in intestinal cells). They catalyze reactions involved in these processes.
Absorption of nutrients by intestinal cells occurs by all the following mechanisms except?
Transmigration
Which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells?
facilitated diffusion
Cell organelle that helps with cell absorption?
the transport of dissolved substances into cells to be used by the cells is

What is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane?
I believe it's active transport. active transport is correct.
What are intestinal cells?
cells
What have most chemical digestion and absorption?
The small intestine is the site of most chemical digestion and absorption in the digestive tract. During absorption, nutrients enter the bloodstream, and the circulatory system can then transport these nutrients to all body cells.
