Question

During absorption of carbohydrates by the blood, the most rapidly transported monosaccharide is

• A. Fructose
• B. Glucose
• C. Sucrose
• D. Galactose

Answer 1

The correct option is D Galactose

Absorption of glucose and galactose occur through active transport. Sodium pump on the cell membrane helps in its active transport. Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are absorbed into the blood capillaries. Galactose is the most rapidly transported monosaccharide.

So, the correct option is 'Galactose'.
