What process breaks down most carbohydrates into simpler forms for absorption in the body?
The process that breaks down most carbohydrates into simpler forms for absorption in the body is called digestion. During digestion, enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine break down carbohydrates into sugars that can be absorbed by the body.
Primary absorption site for digestible carbohydrates?
The primary absorption site for digestible carbohydrates is the small intestine. Carbohydrates are broken down into simpler sugars during digestion and then absorbed through the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream to be used for energy by the body.
Why is digestion good?
Digestion breaks down fat, carbohydrates, and protein into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Without it, no absorption --> malnutrition --> death

fist the stomach where the digestion of proteins starts second the pancreas which secretes pancreatic juice which helps in the digestion of fats proteins and carbohydrates third the bile which is made by the liver and emusifies the fats fourth the duodenum where the digestion of fats starts also digestion of proteins and carbohydrates takes place fifth the small intestine where absorption takes place note digestion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth

What is the hydroliation of carbohydrates?
Hydrolysis of carbohydrates is a chemical reaction where water is used to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. This reaction is important for digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the body.
How are the processes of digestion and absorption similar?
The processes of digestion and absorption are similar because they both involve absorbing a substance. :)
