The name of the process that needs energy (adenosine triphosphate, or atp) for nutrients that were digested to be absorbed through the small intestinal wall into the bloodstream or lymphatic system is called active transport. This process involves the movement of particles in a membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration with the aid of an external source like energy or enzymes.
