The intestinal absorption of glucose and amino acids is facilitated by which of the following transport systems?
A) Bile salt micelles
B) Fat emulsification
C) Sodium linked
D) Brush border enzyme
Ans: C
Feedback:
As with glucose, many amino acids are transported across the mucosal membrane in a sodium-linked transport system (for absorption) that utilizes APT as an energy source. Fat uses bile salts that form micelles for transport to the intestinal villi. Fat emulsification is a digestive process. Brush border enzymes break down carbohydrates for transport.
