Answer: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides.
Explanation: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides. They are then transported across the alabaster membrane via facilitated diffusion. Di and tripeptides are absorbed via separate H+ dependent cotransporters and once inside the cell are hydrolyzed to amino acids.
They would die or have to have food digested for them.
