Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many amino acids are absorbed into epithelial cells lining the digestive tract through sodium-linked secondary active transport. This process involves the co-transport of sodium ions and amino acids, utilizing the sodium gradient established by primary active transport to drive the uptake of amino acids against their concentration gradient.
