Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose and galactose absorption uses an apical Na⁺-glucose SGLT symporter. Fructose uses a facilitated diffusion transport, not active transport. Glucose and galactose use the same Na⁺-glucose SGLT symporter in absorption. A basolateral GLUT2 transporter moves glucose out of the intestinal epithelial cell, not GLUT5.
