The small intestine is where nearly all of the nutrients are digested. The stomach breaks down the food into a liquid and the colon absorbs water.
The small intestine is where most of the absorption of food takes place. The food is broken down and the nutrients are taken into the blood stream to the rest of the body.
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
proteins!
glucose
Fats are not digested until they reach the small intestine.
The small intestine absorbs nutrients and the large intestine absorbs water and left over nutrients.
The large intestine covers the digested food with juices and substances. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the digested food.
Food is broken down or digested in the stomach but the nutrients are not absorbed in the stomach. Nutrients from digested food are primarily absorbed in the small intestine.
The small intestine absorbs digested nutrients. The large intestine collects waste and absorbs water.
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.
Absorption is the process that takes nutrients through the small intestine wall. These nutrients then enter the circulatory system, which carries the nutrients to all body cells.
The digestion first starts in the mouth and the food is absorbed in the small intestine, and the water and minerals go to your large intestine:)learned this in biology, last week =)
A human absorbs nutrients primarily in the small intestine. The pancreas and gallbladder release enzymes into the small intestine to break down the digested food into its molecular forms, and it's absorbed through the small intestine wall into the bloodstream.
Food is digested in the stomach, and this digestion continues to some degree in the small intestine. But it is largely in the small intestine that the nutrients are absorbed from the stream of digested materials. Anything not absorbed continues on to the large intestine for water extraction and further on to excrement.
i dont know the answer but its not the small intestine. The small intestine is a long folded tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed.
The small intestine further breaks-down partly digested food using its enzymes and enzymes from the pancreas. It then absorbs the nutrients from these foods and passes the nutrients on to the blood capillaries.
