Where is digested food mainly absorbed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Small intestine
Most absorption of digested nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Its inner lining has numerous villi and microvilli that greatly increase surface area, while thin walls and a rich blood supply allow glucose, amino acids, minerals, and water-soluble vitamins to enter the blood. The stomach has limited absorption, and the mouth and food pipe mainly transport food. Hence option A is correct.
