What are the four major absorptive processes?
Absorption is a complex process, in which nutrients from digested food are harvested. 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.
