Sodium Epithelial Glucose Moves Cell Blood Maintaining Concentration

Front Describe the processes involved in the absorption of the products of starch digestion. ( 5 marks)
Back Glucose moves in with sodium (into epithelial cell);

Via (carrier/channel) protein/symport;

Sodium removed (from epithelial cell) by active transport/sodiumpotassium pump;

Into blood;

Maintaining low concentration of sodium (in epithelial cell) / maintaining sodium concentration gradient (between lumen and epithelial cell);

Glucose moves into blood;

By (facilitated) diffusion;
