Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates are absorbed by active transport in the small intestine and enter the bloodstream. Fat is absorbed into the lymphatic system, not by active transport, and proteins are absorbed by active transport, not pinocytosis. Water-soluble vitamins are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, not in micelles.
