the final products of digestion by whom are they absorbed and where
A
epithelial cells in stomach
B
epithelial cells in intestine
C
ciliary cells in stomach
D
ciliary cells in intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. The final products of digestion are absorbed into the body through the intestinal villi epithelial layer. The undigested food (feces) enters the caecum of the large intestine through the ileocaecal valve, which prevents fecal matter from flowing backward.

Detailed explanation-2: -It begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine. The final products of digestion are absorbed from the digestive tract, primarily in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The end result is molecules of the simple sugars glucose and maltose (which consists of two glucose molecules), both of which can be absorbed by the small intestine. Other sugars are digested with the help of different enzymes produced by the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process through which the end products of digestion are absorbed into the blood or lymph from the intestinal mucosa is called as Absorption. This process occurs either by the passive, active or facilitated transport mechanisms in the body.
