- Active transport
- Filtration
- Passive diffusion
- Endocytosis
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Hydrophilic drugs with low molecular weight (like 80 Da) are typically absorbed through filtration (also known as paracellular transport), where they pass through water-filled pores between cells.
