Most other nutrients, on the other hand, are more actively transported - there are certain receptors lining those intestinal cells (cells called enterocytes, if anybody cares) that pull salts, sugars, amino acids, etc. through the intestinal lining into the cells in exchange

ion at the same time as an amino acid, then exchange the new hydrogen atom
for a
sodium molecule later.)
