Which nutrients enhances iron absorption from the intestinal tract?
Vitamin C
How do villi of the small intestine increase the rate of nutrients absorption?
By increasing the surface area of the intestinal wall.
What are two benefits of healthy intestinal flora?

How are nutrients absorbed by the intestine cells?
it depends on the nutrients and their size. some nutrients absorb via diffusion, others is facilitated diffusion (needs a carrier protein and no energy), and others are via active transport (needs energy and a protein channel).

What is the purpose of all the folds of the intestinal lining?
The intestinal lining is where the absorption of nutrients from food takes place. In order to be efficient the intestinal lining needs as large a surface area as possible and this can be done by folding (for an example, get a piece of paper and fold it up into a concertina, this is the same surface area but reduced length, exactly what happens in the intestinal wall)
Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the?
The small intestine, or the duodenum, is where most absorption of nutrients occur.
