If someone with coeliac disease consumes the same amounts and kinds of food as a person without the disease, the concentrations of glucose and amino acids in the hepatic portal vein will be lower. Which row gives the correct explanation?
- Acapillaries do not absorb the glucose molecules: yes; the surface area of the ileum is reduced: yes
- Bcapillaries do not absorb the glucose molecules: yes; the surface area of the ileum is reduced: no
- Ccapillaries do not absorb the glucose molecules: no; the surface area of the ileum is reduced: yes
- Dcapillaries do not absorb the glucose molecules: no; the surface area of the ileum is reduced: no
