All sugars are absorbed via secondary active transport.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Most starch digestion takes place in the small intestine by amylase secreted by the pancreas. The products of starch digestion are molecules of the disaccharide maltose. Maltose, along with any ingested sucrose and lactose, is broken down into monosaccharides-fructose, glucose, and galactose, by enzymes on the brush border of the small intestine epithelial cells. Monosaccharides are then absorbed into the epithelial cells. Fructose crosses the apical membrane by facilitated diffusion, whereas glucose and galactose undergo secondary active transport coupled to sodium ions. Monosaccharides then leave the epithelial cells by facilitated diffusion transporters in the basolateral membrane and enter the blood.

How do we know green light is not absorbed by chlorophyll?
A) Green light is the wavelength of light that is reflected instead of absorbed by the chloroplasts. B) Not enough of the green light penetrates the ozone layer and makes it to the plant.
