Non-Chemical Digestion and Absorption in Mammalian Gut

Question

Name two nutrients that are absorbed in mammalian gut without chemical digestion

Answer

1. Vitamins
2. Minerals (Inorganic ions)

The nutrients that are absorbed in the mammalian gut without undergoing significant chemical digestion are vitamins and minerals. These are relatively small molecules that do not require extensive enzymatic breakdown for absorption. Instead, they are typically absorbed directly through the walls of the digestive tract and into the bloodstream.
