Question

  1. the nutrient that is absorbed by facilitated diffusion is: galactose lactose maltose fructose 4) the nutrients that require active transport are: carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals glucose, amino acids, small peptides vitamins, minerals, fiber maltose, lactose, sucrose

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Facilitated diffusion is a passive - transport process that uses transport proteins. Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion. Galactose and glucose are absorbed by active transport, and lactose and maltose are disaccharides that need to be broken down before absorption.
  2. Active transport requires energy. Glucose, amino acids, and small peptides are nutrients that require active transport for absorption against their concentration gradients. Carbohydrates need to be broken down first, vitamins and minerals have different absorption mechanisms, fiber is not absorbed, and disaccharides like maltose, lactose, and sucrose need to be hydrolyzed before absorption.

Answer:

  1. Fructose
  2. Glucose, amino acids, small peptides
