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).
What else can I help you with?
What are two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport?
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.
How do products of digestion enter the blood?
Products of digestion are absorbed across the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream through a process called diffusion and active transport. Nutrients like simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed directly into the blood vessels in the small intestine, while larger molecules like fats are absorbed into lymph vessels before entering the bloodstream.
Is fructose absorbed by active transport?
Because the absorption is from a high concentration to low concentration
What three simple sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream?
The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Do fats and water soluble molecules such as sugars get absorbed from the intestine directly into the blood?
The simple sugars do but not the fats. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption as fatty acids.
What are two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport?
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.
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

Is fructose absorbed by active transport?
Because the absorption is from a high concentration to low concentration
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.
In the small intestine the products of digestion are absorbed by both diffusion and... what?
active transport
Where is selenium absorbed?
Selenium is mainly absorbed in the small intestine, specifically in the jejunum and ileum. It is absorbed through the process of passive diffusion and is then transported to the liver for distribution throughout the body.
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.
Where is ethanol absorbed?
Ethanol is primarily absorbed in the small intestine, but it can also be absorbed in the stomach. Absorption occurs through passive diffusion directly into the bloodstream, leading to its distribution throughout the body.
