Question

state the form in which the following nutrients are absorbed in small intestine . a- carbohydrates. b- protein. c- fats ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are digested in the intestine, where they are broken down into their basic units: Carbohydrates into sugars. Proteins into amino acids. Fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

Explanation:

All carbohydrates are absorbed in the form of monosaccharides. The small intestine is highly efficient at this, absorbing monosaccharides at an estimated rate of 120 grams per hour. All normally digested dietary carbohydrates are absorbed; indigestible fibers are eliminated in the feces.

Answer 2

Answer:

The goal of carbohydrate digestion is to break down all disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides for absorption, although not all are completely absorbed in the small intestine (e.g., fiber). Digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase released during the process of chewing.

There is virtually no absorption of proteins longer than four amino acids.

In the small intestines bile emulsifies fats while enzymes digest them. The intestinal cells absorb the fats
