Question

Which of the following is a way that digestion and absorption of carbohydrates differs from that of proteins?

a) Only carbohydrate absorption involves cotransport driven by Na+ gradients.

b) Only protein absorption involves cotransport driven by H+ gradients.

c) Only carbohydrate absorption involves digestion via brush border enzymes.

d) Only protein absorption involves facilitated diffusion transporters that allow the digested monomers to enter the interstitial fluid across the basolateral membranes of gut epithelial cells.

e) Only during protein absorption are digested monomers packaged into vesicles and secreted into the interstitial fluid across the basolateral membrane of gut epithelial cells

Explanation / Answer

Carbohydrates absorption differs from that of proteins for only carbohydrate absorption involves cotransport driven by Sodium gradient.
