What else can I help you with?
The absorption of what monosaccharide does not require energy?
The absorption of glucose does not require energy. Glucose absorption occurs through facilitated diffusion, where glucose molecules move across the intestinal membrane down their concentration gradient with the help of transport proteins, such as GLUT2.
When does glucose occur?
glucose occurs in glycolysis
What is the the utlimate goal of carbohydrate digestion and absorption?
Glucose
What is the process from absorption of light to production of glucose?
Photosynthesis.
Is absorption mechanical or chemical?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
What mineral facilitates absorption of glucose from the intestinal tract?
sodium
Is absorption mechanical or chemical digestion?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
Do ionic bonds occur in glucose?
Glucose has covalent bonds.
How does the body regulate the absorption of water and glucose?
The body regulates the absorption of water and glucose through the process of osmoregulation and hormonal control. Osmoregulation helps maintain the balance of water in the body by adjusting the amount of water absorbed in the intestines based on the body's hydration levels. Hormones like insulin and glucagon help regulate the absorption of glucose in the bloodstream by signaling cells to take in or release glucose as needed.
Why absorption rate of galactose is more than glucose?
The absorption rate of galactose is higher than glucose because galactose is transported into enterocytes by a secondary active transport mechanism that involves a carrier protein, which allows for faster absorption. In contrast, glucose is primarily absorbed through facilitated diffusion, which is a slower process.
What does nutrient absorption occur?
small intestine
Where absorption of water occur?
large intestine
