Transpo of glucose from the lumen to the mucosal cell is dependent on the diffusion of
Glucose and galactose are absorbed by a sodium-dependent process. They are carried by the same transpo protein (SGLT 1)The SGLT 1 transpoer is coupled to the Na+-K+ pump, allowing glucose and galactose to be transpoed against their concentration gradients.Harper 30th edition Pg:538
