absorption a+
What nutrient does not undergo digestion until it reaches the small intestine?
Fat
Where does absorption of amino acids and simple sugars take place?
The absorption for any nutrient occurs in the small intestine
How do digested nutrients get in the blood stream?
After food get digested, there are enzymes that break down larger molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecules before it can pass into the blood stream. Mainly in the small intestine, nutrients pass into the blood stream. Depending on the type of "nutrient" that get passed through, some just diffuse through by difference in concentration gradient. Some require active pumps in the lining of the small intestine to pump the "nutrient" into the cell or blood stream. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. In short, some molecule just pass through. Some needs to be pumped across the cell membrane.
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream through tiny structures called what?
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the through tiny structures called villi.
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.
The major site of nutrient absorption in the body is the?
The major site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine.
Do Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the blood stream through the villi?
Yes.

small intestine
How does the body absorb nutrient's?
Most of the nutrients are soaked up by the small intestine through villi, I believe.
The small intestine is the site for most nutrient?
absorption a+
Which nutrient will be absorbed by this small intestine?
micro villi in the jujeum (second part of 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.
