AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement A**: - Statement A claims that "Fructose enters into the epithelial cell by facilitated transport." - This statement is true. Fructose is absorbed in the small intestine and enters epithelial cells through facilitated diffusion, which involves specific transport proteins but does not require energy. 2. **Understanding Statement B**: - Statement B states, "Movement of fructose molecules enters into the epithelial cells by spending some energy." - This statement is false. Facilitated transport does not require energy expenditure. Instead, it relies on the concentration gradient of fructose, allowing it to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of ATP. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, Statement A is correct, while Statement B is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement A is true and Statement B is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement A is correct, and Statement B is incorrect. ---
