Which of the following statements is true? a. glucose and galactose absorption uses an apical na+-glucose sglt symporter. b. fructose moves across the apical membrane by active transport. c. glucose and galactose use different transporters in absorption. d. a basolateral glut5 transporter moves glucose out of the intestinal epithelial cell. e. none of the statements are true.

The correct answer is glucose and galactose use an apical Na+ glucose SGLT symporter.

Explanation:

Both glucose and galacose is being absorped into the epithelial cells of small intestine by the active transport process.

   A protein known is sodium dependent glucose transporter helps in transport of both glucose and galactose into the specialized cell of small intestine called epithelial cells.

  From the small intestine they(glucose and galactose) are transported  through the portal vein and finally reaches the liver by the help of portal vein.
