Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is ‘Glucose and amino acids’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Absorption can occur through five mechanisms: (1) active transport, (2) passive diffusion, (3) facilitated diffusion, (4) co-transport (or secondary active transport), and (5) endocytosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Active transport is used to continue the transport of the small amounts of remaining nutrients against the concentration gradient. Amino acids are also absorbed by active transport.
