When we take food inside the body ,many mechanism starts.The process is known as food absorption.
Most of the food is absorbed through Passive absorption without the expenditure of energy.
But mineral and vitamin get absorbed through carrier mediated transport .In carrier mediated transport in the cell membrane in having limited no. of carriers which attaches itself to the vitamins and transport it to other side of the cell membrane i.e.blood

What minerals are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract without being digested first?
Minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract without being digested first.
What classes of food doesn't have to be digested before it can be absorbed by the small intestine?
Monosaccharides (simple sugars), amino acids (building blocks of proteins), and fatty acids (components of fats) do not require digestion before they can be absorbed by the small intestine. This means they can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream to be used by the body for energy and other functions.
What is the total number of minerals that plants need?
Plants generally need about 17 essential minerals for healthy growth and development. These minerals include macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients like iron, zinc, and manganese.
Which nutrients can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract?
Monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract. These nutrients are small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestine directly into the bloodstream. This process is facilitated by specific transport mechanisms for each type of nutrient. However, larger molecules like disaccharides and proteins require digestion by enzymes before they can be absorbed.
Why do food need to be digested?
The food that we eat needs to be digested, or broken down, so the particles are small enough to be able to be absorbed into our cells. The process of digestion has four parts. Ingestion, digestion (mechanical and chemical), absorption, and elimination.
Do minerals vitamins and water need to be digested?

Why don't vitamins and minerals need to be digested before they are absorbed?
Vitamins are used in their original form by the cells. They do not require digestion. They are absorbed directly from the digestive tract, transported by the blood to the cells, and the cells absorb and use what they need.Because vitamins are absorbed by the body 'as is' - not broken down and digested.
Why do some nutrients need to be digested?
men? men?
