Glucose is absorbed in intestine by?

A
Secondary active transpo
B
Facilitated diffusion
C
Simple diffusion
D
Primary active transpo

In all cells: Glucose enters by (along conc. Gradient) facilitated diffusion GLUT, EXCEPT: GIT & kidney | Glucose has to enter against concentration gradient & cross the apical & basolateral cell surfaces to get absorbed into the bloodstream. The transpoer facilitating glucose absorption into the intestinal cells: SGLT secondary active transpo. Glucose exits from the cell to the bloodstream GLUT -2 (facilitated diffusion) Ans 1>2
