What else can I help you with?
How are most nutrients absorbed through the mucosa of the intestinal villa?
Active transport driven directly or indirectly by metabolic energy ;)
Where are tripeptides absorbed?
By secondary active transport with Hydrogen.
Are fats absorbed by active transport or passive transport?
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.
where does active transport takes place which part of the cell?
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.
How are nutrients absorbed by the intestine cells?
it depends on the nutrients and their size. some nutrients absorb via diffusion, others is facilitated diffusion (needs a carrier protein and no energy), and others are via active transport (needs energy and a protein channel).
Why are glucose and galactose absorbed by active transport?
Glucose and galactose are absorbed by active transport in the small intestine because they are structurally similar and compete for the same carrier protein, known as SGLT1. This carrier protein requires energy to bring glucose and galactose molecules into the intestinal cells against their concentration gradient. This process ensures efficient absorption of these important nutrients.
In the small intestine the products of digestion are absorbed by both diffusion and... what?
active transport
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.
Proteins are absorbed primarily as?
Proteins are absorbed primarily as amino acids. These acids are water soluble and easily absorbed by the body via active transport.
How does protists circulation work?
No, they do not. Because they have such a thin Cell Membrane, all the nutrients they need can be absorbed through diffusion or active transport.
What is the energy consuming process which moves nutrients from the intestine into the bloodstream?
active transport
How do cells get the nutrients they need to function?
Cells obtain nutrients through processes like diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. Nutrients are absorbed from the surrounding environment and transported into the cell through the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, these nutrients are utilized in various cellular processes to support cell function and metabolism.
