Question

Choose the appropriate term to fill in the sentence: when mrs. m ate, her intestinal contents became __________ to her blood. her blood became __________ to her intestinal contents.

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: hypertonic, hypotonic

After eating, the intestine is filled with food that will be digested. Food that digested will turn into a much smaller unit of carbohydrate, amino acid and fatty acid that will cause the intestine to have hypertonic solution compared to the blood. This will induce diffusion of some molecule to the intestinal cell, and then to the blood.
