Question:

Fructose is absorbed into the blood through mucosa cells of intestine by the process called as Active transport, Facilitated transport, Simple diffusion, Co-transport mechanism

Active transport

Facilitated transport

Co-transport mechanism

Simple diffusion

Solution:

Sucrose is digested by enzyme sucrase into glucose and fructose in the small intestine. Fructose diffuses through the mucosa cells of intestine by the process of facilitated diffusion. It uses an integral membrane proteins known as hexose transporter GLUT - 2 to move polar or charged substances across the hydrophobic regions of the membrane. So, the correct answer is option B.
