    The primary goal of digestion and absorption of sugars and starches is to break them into small molecules that the body can absorb and use, according to Whitney (2016). Whitney states that the main aim is to break down sugars and starches into small molecules like glucose for easier absorption. The different molecules are broken down in a variety of ways. Furthermore, Whitney maintains that proteins must also be broken down into amino acids. Enzymes play a key role in breaking down molecules into their basic building blocks. Finally, the author indicates that fats require emulsification and hydrolysis before absorption. In this chapter, the key processes of digestion and absorption are examined. The author concludes that breaking nutrients down allows for efficient uptake and use by
