Question

which of the following nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine?
correct answer(s)
fatty acids
carbohydrates
proteins
dietary fiber

Explanation:

The small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption. Fatty acids are absorbed after lipid digestion. Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars (like glucose) and absorbed. Proteins are digested into amino acids which are then absorbed. Dietary fiber is indigestible and not absorbed; it passes through the digestive system.

Answer:

fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins
