Because the absorption is from a high concentration to low concentration
Two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport are glucose and galactose. These sugars are actively transported across the intestinal epithelium lining for absorption into the bloodstream.
The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Coupled transport is an example of active transport.
Exocytosis is a form of active transport.
Endocytosis is a form of active transport.
By secondary active transport with Hydrogen.
Fats are absorbed mainly by passive transport in the small intestine. This process involves the diffusion of fatty acids and monoglycerides across the intestinal epithelium and into the bloodstream without the need for energy input.

Proteins are absorbed primarily as amino acids. These acids are water soluble and easily absorbed by the body via active transport.
Amino acids are absorbed through two processes: active transport and facilitated diffusion. Active transport requires energy and is used for absorption of essential amino acids, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and is used for absorption of non-essential amino acids. Both processes occur in the small intestine.
Active transport driven directly or indirectly by metabolic energy ;)
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is absorbed in the body primarily in the small intestine through active transport and passive diffusion. The active transport process is facilitated by specific thiamine transporters, particularly under low dietary intake conditions. Once absorbed, thiamine is phosphorylated to its active form, thiamine pyrophosphate, which is essential for various metabolic processes. Factors such as alcohol consumption and certain medical conditions can impair thiamine absorption and utilization.
The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Active transport takes place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed from the intestine and into the bloodstream. More specifically, it is the structures known as villi that contain the protein receptors necessary for active transport to take place. The process also happens in the nephrons of the kidneys, where glucose and water/ions are selectively reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
Fructose is metabolized in the liver by posphorylation with fructokinase; glucose is absorbed anywhere.
