Where should digested food be soluble in?

Digested food should be soluble in the aqueous environment of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the small intestine where nutrient absorption occurs. Enzymatic actions break down food into smaller molecules, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and simple sugars, which then dissolve in the intestinal fluids. This solubility is essential for the efficient absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.


Which nutrient cannot be digested?
