    Simple carbohydrates (carbs)
    Amino Acids (proteins)
    Fatty Acids (lipids)



    Is that what you mean?

    I think lol.

    This is the question I have to answer:

    Name the parts of the digestion system in which the following are absorbed into the blood.

    (1) The products of digestion
    (2) Water

    Thanks.

    the answer they are looking for is probably the small intestine tbh, as that's where most of the absorption takes place. The "products of digestion" would be formed higher up in the gastroinitestinal tract. I don't think the actual products are too important to this particular question, they just want to know where food is absorbed from after it has been broken down by digestion.



    Water is mostly absorbed in the large intestine I believe?


    Hope this helps.
