Explanation / Answer

Ans 11:

False

Explanation:

Absorption of glucose across the intestinal wall is not entirely passive.

Glucose actually uses the energy created by flow of Na+ across the membrane.

When blood glucose level is low, then the absorption process is mainly passive. When blood has higher concentration of glucose than intestinal cells, then the process is active.
