Select the correct match of the digested products in humans given in column I with their absorption site and mechanism in column II.
Column I | Column II |
Glycine and glucose | Small intestine and active absorption |
Fructose and Na+ | Small intestine passive absorption |
Glycerol and fatty acids | Duodenum and move as chilomicrons |
Cholesterol and maltose | Large intestine and active absorption |
A.
Column I | Column II |
Glycine and glucose | Small intestine and active absorption |
Amino acids monosaccharides like glucose, electrolytes like Na are absorbed into the blood by active transport. Fructose and some amino acids are absorbed with the help of the carrier ions like Na by facilitated transport. Fatty acid and glycerol cannot be absorbed into the blood. They are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles, which move into the intestinal mucosa.
The serous membrane which covers the lungs is called
pericardium
