Question

Fructose is absorbed into the blood through mucosa cells of the intestine by a process called _______.

• A. Facilitated transport
• B. Simple diffusion
• C. Co-transport mechanism
• D. Active transport

Answer 1

The correct option is A Facilitated transport

• Fructose is absorbed into the blood through mucosa cells of the intestine by a process called facilitated transport.Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by enzyme sucrase present in the small intestine. In this facilitated type of absorption, $N{a}^{+}$ is used.
• Simple diffusion is the process in which solute particles move along the concentration gradient.
• The co-transport mechanism is the process in which solute particles move down the concentration gradient.
• Active transport is the process in which solute particles move from the lower region to a higher concentration.

Hence, the answer is Option A.
