Question

question 11 mark this question the human body lacks the necessary enzymes to efficiently digest and absorb ______. glucose lactose galactose dietary fiber

Explanation:

• Glucose is a monosaccharide that the body can easily absorb, so the body has mechanisms to handle it.
• Lactose can be digested by lactase (though some people are lactose - intolerant, but the body has the potential to produce lactase).
• Galactose is also a sugar that the body can metabolize after being released from lactose or other compounds.
• Dietary fiber (especially insoluble fiber) is a type of carbohydrate that the human body lacks the enzymes to break down and absorb. The body's digestive enzymes are not capable of breaking the chemical bonds in dietary fiber, so it passes through the digestive system largely intact.

Answer:

D. dietary fiber
