Which mechanism directly accounts for the absorption of some nutrients by intestinal cells?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport is the mechanism in which intestinal cells use energy to transport nutrients across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. This allows for the absorption of certain nutrients such as glucose and amino acids that cannot passively diffuse across the membrane. Dilution, transmigration, and facilitated diversion are not direct mechanisms for nutrient absorption.
