Question No : 2
               By which process, absorption of galactose, electrolytes, like  and  and some amino acids takes place?     

                a)          Active process          b)          Passive process     

                c)          Simple diffusions          d)          Osmosis     

Answer No : 2
     (a)Absorption of monosaccharides like glucose and galactose occurs by active transport. They are absorbed in the stomach and jejunum. Amino acid are absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum by active transport. While most of the ions (electrolyte), like Na, K, Mg, Fe,  are also actively absorbed throughout the small intestine
