Question

How does digestion release nutrients from food?

Answer 1

By breaking down the complex substances in food into the simpler or most basic substances that can be absorbed by body.

Explanation:

Digestion is a process by which the complex molecules(i.e Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) in food are broken down to their most basic forms(monosaccharide, amino acids, fatty acids). These simpler substances are absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine(especially villi) and the nutrients are carried to each cell in the body.
