Where are glucose and amino acids normally absorbed?
Small intestine
How does absorption of fat differ from glucose?
Fat is absorbed by lacteals in the small intestine these have large surface areas to help with absorption and capillaries to absorb the fatty acids. Glucose and Amino acids is absorbed in the glomerulus in the kidney transported by the blood to the heart etc then it is reabsorbed in the bowman's capsule in the kidney.
Each of the villi is lined with capillaries and with a lacteal which absorb?
In the small intestine most food is digested. The digestive system's organs work to make the food you eat soluble, so your body can absorb the energy (glucose). Once the churned up food is in the small intestine which is covered in villus (like a brush) the microvilli on the villus, to increase the surface area further, absorb all of the soluble glucose. Inside of the villus are capillaries that absorb most of the churned up food. But fatty acids called LIPID cannot be absorbed, so the lacteal running though the middle of the villus absorbs the fatty acids. :) hope that helped

Whoch blood vessels have the hishest concentration of Amino acids and Glucose?
All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.
Which process are glucose and amino acids transported into cells?
osmosis
The process of allows the liver to produce glucose form amino acids when there is adequate glucose in the diet?
gluconeogenesis
What substances are transport by your blood system from the small intestine to your heart?
Digested food such as glucose, amino acids in blood plasma.

What is the primary region for food and water absorption?
You absorb nutrients in the small intestine. Your cecum absorbs water.
What useful substance does the blood take in from the intestines?
The function (job) of the intestine is to digest and absorb food. Digestion means breaking down food into soluble substances which can be absorbed. For example, starch is broken down into sugar (glucose) and protein is broken down into amino acids. So, the substances which are taken in by the blood from the intestine are digested foods, for example sugar (glucose) and amino acids. Most food is absorbed by the small intestine. Undigested food and water pass into the large intestine which takes some of the water back into the blood.
