C)diffusion
D)active transport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate are transported from the intestinal lumen through active transport, which requires the use of energy in the form of ATP to move the ions against their concentration gradient. This ensures that the ions are properly absorbed into the body for use in various physiological processes. Passive transport, osmosis, and diffusion do not require the use of energy and are not as efficient at transporting ions from the intestinal lumen.
