Question
Select the CORRECT match of the digested products in humans gave in Column I with their absorption site and mechanism in Column II.
Options
Column I Column II Glycine, glucose In the small intestine, active absorption Column I Column II Fructose, \[\ce{Na+}\] Small intestine passive absorption Column I Column II Glycerol, fatty acids Duodenum, move as chylomicrons Column I Column II Cholesterol, maltose In the large intestine, active absorption
MCQ
Solution
Column I | Column II |
Glycine, glucose | In the small intestine, active absorption |
Explanation:
By active absorption, substances like amino acids, glucose, and electrolytes like \[\ce{Na+}\] are taken up by the blood. In the small intestine, fructose is absorbed through facilitated absorption and \[\ce{Na+}\] through active absorption. Lacteals take up cholesterol and fatty acids as chylomicrons, which are then released into the bloodstream. Maltase converts maltose into glucose, which is absorbed in the small intestine by simple diffusion.
