In the gut, amino acids are absorbed from the small intestine into the blood by active transport. However, if you are referring to amino acids being reabsorbed in the kidney from the nephron back to the blood, then that is incorrect - amino acids aren't reabsorbed at all, because they weren't filtered in the first place. This is due to the protein molecules being too large to diffuse across the Bowman's Capsule.
In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2 When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.
Proteins are made up of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. Proteins digested in to peptides first by proteases such as pepsin. They ultimately digested to form individual amino acids that are utilized by our cells.

Small intestine
Through researching this question i have found out that the stomach absorbs proteins which are made up of amino acids. After the stomach amino acids are then absorbed by the duodenum ( a buffer for acids in the stomach in small intestine, called sodium bicarbonate).
Amino Acids are absorbed into circulation after the complete digestion of proteins.
All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.

Glycerol and Protein are broken down by enzymes to go past the wall of the small intestine and from there the glycerol becomes sugar and the protein becomes amino acids and then it's absorbed in our blood.

Correct. The amino acid molecules are absorbed and allowed to pass to the bloodstream.
Enzymes such as Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Carboxy peptidase converts the Proteins, Peptons & proteoses into Dipeptides... Then Dipeptidase convert the dipeptides into Amino acids.. Finally this amino acids are absorbed by villi of small intestine... This happens to the Protein molecules we eat..
Proteins are absorbed primarily as amino acids. These acids are water soluble and easily absorbed by the body via active transport.
Yes they do. the protein has to be digested in the stomach before absorbed there.
