What nutrients need to be digested before they are taken into blood?

Why doesn't water need to be digested before being absorbed?
Water is water. It is already in the right form to be absorbed, no breakup needed.
Do water need to be digested?
No. It is absorbed.
Which system will the digestive system work with to ensure that your body gets the nutrients from the food you eat?
When nutrients are digested they are then absorbed into the blood stream. The cardiovascular system then distributes those nutrients to the different areas of the body that are in need of them.
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.
Why does food need to be digested to be absorbed?
Because a steak does your body no good directly. However by breaking down (digesting) the food to the basic components like amino acids, then your body absorbs the essential nutrients and leaves the rest in the digestive tract.
Do lipids need to be digested before they can be absorbed?
Yes, lipids need to be broken down into smaller molecules like fatty acids and glycerol through the process of digestion before they can be absorbed in the small intestine. This process is facilitated by enzymes such as lipase.
Why do some nutrients need to be digested?

Do minerals vitamins and water need to be digested?
No, minerals, vitamins and water do not need to be digested. The foods that contain them need to be. However, minerals, vitamins and water need to be absorbed by the body into the bloodstream.
Does a hydra need a circulation system to distribute digested nutrients?
No they use osmosis to absorb digested nutrients and flagella to move food and particles around within it
Which components don't need to be digested?
Components that do not need to be digested include certain vitamins, minerals, and water. These substances can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without the need for enzymatic breakdown. Additionally, some simple sugars, like glucose, can also be absorbed directly. However, most macromolecules like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates require digestion before absorption.
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.
