The small intestine is where most digestion occurs because it is where most vitamins, minerals, lipids, and some water are absorbed.
What are vitamins?
- A vitamin is an organic molecule (or a group of chemically related molecules, known as vitamers) that is a crucial micronutrient that a living thing needs in minute amounts for the proper operation of its metabolism.
- Essential nutrients must be received from the diet since they cannot be manufactured by the organism, either completely or in adequate amounts.
- Some species can synthesize vitamin C, but not others; in the second case, vitamin C is the term used to describe it.
What are minerals?
- A mineral is a chemical element that an organism needs as an important nutrient in order to carry out life-sustaining processes.
- However, lists of the principal nutrients and minerals typically omit the four structural components that make up the human body—oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen—by weight (nitrogen is considered a "mineral" for plants, as it often is included in fertilizers).
- About 96% of the weight of the human body is made up of these four elements; the remaining 4% is made up of major minerals (macrominerals) and minor minerals (also known as trace elements).
