monosaccharides are absorbed from the gi tract through
a facilitated transport
b simple diffusion
c active transport
d osmosis

Explanation:

Monosaccharides such as glucose and galactose are absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via active transport. Active transport requires energy (in the form of ATP) and carrier - proteins to move substances against their concentration gradient. Facilitated transport is for substances moving down their concentration gradient with the help of carrier proteins but without energy input. Simple diffusion is the movement of small, non - polar substances down their concentration gradient without the help of proteins. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane.

Answer:

C. Active transport
