What carries nutrients to body parts in humans?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Blood
The governing concept is transport after digestion. Nutrients produced by digestion are absorbed mainly through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Blood then circulates through capillaries and delivers glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and other useful substances to cells. Bile and saliva assist digestion, while sweat helps cooling; neither distributes nutrients throughout the body. Hence option A is correct.
