Briefly explain the process by which the components of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be absorbed once
they have been broken down. What will be an ideal response?
The amino acids resulting from the digestion of proteins as well as the monosaccharides
resulting from the digestion of polysaccharides and disaccharides are absorbed via active
transport through the epithelial cells of the villi into the adjacent capillaries. The fatty acids and monoacylglycerols resulting from the digestion of triglycerides are absorbed into the
epithelial cells in the intestinal lining, reassembled as triglycerides, packaged with cholesterol
and phospholipids forming chylomicrons, and then enter a lacteal of the villus.
