- Glucose enters capillaries via facilitated diffusion
- Absorbing Glucose in the Small Intestine
- With specific channel proteins
- Equilibrium reached
- ActiveTransport removes sodium from epithelial cell - capillaries
- Low concentration of sodium in the cell
- Sodium diffuses(facilitated) from lumen - epithelial cell
- Glucose diffuses across with the sodium - co-transport
- Glucose diffuses (facilitated) from cell - capillary on it's own
- Glucose diffuses across with the sodium - co-transport
- ActiveTransport removes sodium from epithelial cell - capillaries
