What nutrient does not undergo digestion until it reaches the small intestine?
Fat
How does the length of the small intestine related to its functions in absorbing digested food?
the reason the small intestine is so long is because it abosorbs nutrient to keep u healty !!!!the small intestine is roughly 250 m long (the size of a tenis court)The nutrient the small intestine absorbes are; water,electrolytes,carbs(after digestion to monosaccharides) protein (if the stomach didnt get it all),lipids(fats),vitamins and minerals.

What nutrient begins undergoing digestion only when it reaches the small intestine?
Fats are not digested until they reach the small intestine.
What is the primary kind of motility in the small intestine during digestion of a meal?
Segmentation- series of stationary rhythmic contractions and relaxations of rings of intestinal smooth muscle; mixes intestinal contents. Segmentation mixes the cyme with intestinal secretions and brings it into repeated contact with the absorptive epithelium. The slow passage insures nutrient absorption.
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What two digestive processes occur in the small intestine?
The two processes that occur are digestion and absorption. Digestion is the process by which your body breaks down food into small nutrient chemicals. While absorption is the process in which when the small nutrient molecules go through a wall of the digestive system and into the blood.
Why do you need to fart?
To expel the gas released by bacteria that aid in digestion during the nutrient absorption process in your large intestine!

Small intestine is to nutrient absorption as blood is to nutrient?
The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient distribution.
What are in organic nutrients?
The primary site of nutrient digestion is the small intestine, but this also takes place to a lesser extent in the stomach and mouth. The small intestine is also where the majority of digested nutrients are absorbed.
What important functions are performed by the large intestine?
Some important functions of the large intestine is absorption of water and electrolytes, this helps dry out the fecal matter and prevent diarrhea. It also absorbs vitamins such as Vitamin K, B12, thiamine and riboflavin.
