Fructose is absorbed into the blood through mucosa cells of intestine by the process called:

1. active transport
2. facilitated transport
3. simple diffusion
4. co-transport mechanism

Correct answer: facilitated transport

Solution

Fructose enters intestinal mucosal cells by facilitated transport, meaning it crosses through a specific carrier protein without direct energy use. This matches its absorption in the small intestine, unlike active transport or co-transport which require energy-linked mechanisms.
