Nutrients from the digestive tract enter the?
bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. Here, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body where they are used for various metabolic functions. Any remaining waste is passed out of the body through the large 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.
Where does the food go once you enter it through the mouth?
Once you enter food through your mouth, it travels down the esophagus into the stomach. In the stomach, the food is mixed with digestive acids and enzymes to break it down. From the stomach, the partially digested food moves into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. The remaining waste then travels to the large intestine and is eventually passed out of the body as stool.
What body process breaks food into nutrients?
Once the food has reached the stomach and is worked on by enzymes to break them down into absorbable forms of proteins and carbohydrates and other nutrients the 'food' is now passed into the small intestine from where it is absorbed accross the small intestine lining through the cells into the blood and taken round the body. On its way round the body, the nutrients in the blood are absorbed into the places where they are needed. To sum this up, the body absorbs the nutrients into the blood through capillaries in the intestines.
Is the large intestine the primary site for absorption of water?
Yes, the large intestine is the primary site for absorption of water in the digestive system. It absorbs water and salts from the indigestible food matter passed on from the small intestine, helping to form solid waste products (feces) for elimination.
What remains in the small intestines after all the nutrients have passed through?
You have undigested food material is left in the small intestine. There are mainly fibres in the food. It forms the main bulk in your faeces.
If you have just eaten food where will your blood go?
After eating, food is digested in your stomach and then passed through your small intestine. Nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine and into your blood stream, where it is carried to cells needing nutrients. Whatever food left over is waste and it is passed out of your body.
How does the digestive system help estract energy from food?
the digestive system breaks down the food, anything which is vital to the body is passed through the intestine walls, ( im not sure which, i believe it is small ). The nutrients are passed through the intestine walls and into the blood stream
Where do nutrients go after they have passed through the intestine wall?
Blood stream and then used 2 repair damaged or to replace dead cells.
What happens to the nutrients that are not absorbed by the body?
It is waste..............................................
What remains in the small intestines after nutrients have passed through its walls?
Chyme (thick, semi-fluid mass of food). Chyme is undigestible material plus water. When it moves into the small intestine, the water will be mostly removed and what is left will be excreted as feces.
What is the name of the 22-foot long coiled tube where most chemical digestion and absorption of food occurs?
It's called the Small Intestine. It is the longest part of your digestive system. Through a muscular movement called peristalsis, food is squeezed through the small intestine. The nutrients from food are absorbed into your blood stream by microvillus, which are microscopic and line the intestine. Once the food has passed through the small intestine, all the important nutrients have been extracted so the left over food is passed on through the large intestine and later excreted.
Nutrients from the digestive tract enter the?
bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. Here, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body where they are used for various metabolic functions. Any remaining waste is passed out of the body through the large intestine.
What is happening in the small intestine?
Food is passed from the stomach, and it goes through the long tube called the small intestine. In the villi it absorbs nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream, the small intestine is the biggest part of the digestive system, and the food is send to the large intestine where it is made into excrement.

Why do scientist consider it to be accurate that nutrients are not really inside the body until they have passed through the wall of the small intestine?
because most of the absorption work done in small intestine so if nutrients will not reach here thet cant be absorbed and they will not utilised in body activities
Describe how nutrients are passed between organisms and the environment?
Nutrients are passed between organisms and the environment through various processes such as consumption, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Organisms obtain nutrients by consuming food or other organisms, and then release nutrients back into the environment through waste products and decay. Nutrient cycling involves the movement of nutrients through living organisms and their environment, ensuring that the ecosystem remains balanced and functional.
