Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal lining via a symport process, specifically with sodium ions, which facilitates their transport across the cell membrane into the bloodstream. This process does not require emulsification, lacteals (which are involved in fat absorption), vitamin C, or suggest that they cannot be absorbed.
