MONOSACCHARIDE/ AA

• WHERE ARE GLUCOSE/ AAs ABSORBED FROM?

  absorbed from lumen to gut
• WHAT MUST THERE BE TO ABSORB GLUCOSE/ AAs?

  higher concentration in lumen compared to epithelial cell for facilitated diffusion
• WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH ABSORPTION?

  usually higher concentration in epithelial cells
• WHAT DOES THE HIGHER CONCENTRATION IN EPITHELIAL CELLS MEAN FOR MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES?

  active transport/ co-transport required
• MOVEMENT OF ABSORBED PRODUCTS?

  ileum lumen -> epithelial cells -> capillary
