The small intestine exchanges nutrients to help maintain homeostasis. Through the process of digestion, food is broken down into smaller pieces. Sugar is a molecule that supplies our cells with energy. Sugar is a large molecule and is transported through carrier proteins. Sugar molecules are often transported into the bloodstream even when the concentration of glucose is higher in the bloodstream than in the intestine. Based on this scenario, is the transport of glucose accomplished through osmosis, diffusion, or active transport?
