Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amino acids and glucose are transported against their concentration gradient from the small intestine into the blood through active transport. This requires the use of energy in the form of ATP. Simple diffusion and osmosis do not require energy and only move particles along their concentration gradient, while filtration involves the passing of fluid and small solutes through a filter or membrane.
