Solution

The correct option is A $I -$ Amino Acids,
$I I - C a^{2 +}$ ,
$I I I -$ Passive transport,
$I V -$ Glycerol,
$V -$ Fatty Acids
* The absorption of digested food from the small intestine takes place by various methods;
* A small amount of glucose, amino acids, and some electrolytes like chloride ions are generally absorbed by simple diffusion.
* Fructose and some amino acids are absorbed with the help of the carrier ions like Na+. This mechanism is called the facilitated transport.
* Fatty acid and glycerols are absorbed in the form of micelle and chylomicrons.
* Transport of water depends upon the osmotic gradient.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
