Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose moves from the GI tract into the circulatory system via cotransport with sodium ions in the small intestine. Facilitated diffusion also plays a role in glucose uptake by cells in the liver and muscles. Diffusion and filtration are not the primary mechanisms for glucose absorption in the GI tract.
