AB OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Understand  how  nutrients  are  delivered  to  the  body  and  the  chemical  processes  needed  to  convert  them  to  a  form  suitable  for  absorption.List  the  major  dietary  carbohydrates  and  define  the  processes  that  produce  absorbable  monosaccharides  as  well  as  the  transport  mechanisms  that  provide  for  uptake  of  these  hydrophilic  molecules.Understand  the  process  of  protein  assimilation  and  the  ways  in  which  it  is  comparable  to,  or  converges  from,  that  used  for  carbohydrates.Define  the  stepwise  processes  of  lipid  digestion  and  absorption,  the  role  of  bile  acids  in  solubilizing  the  products  of  lipolysis,  and  the  consequences  of  fat  malabsorption.Identify  the  source  and  functions  of  short-chain  fatty  acids  in  the  colon.Delineate  the  mechanisms  of  uptake  for  vitamins  and  minerals.Understand  basic  principles  of  energy  metabolism  and  nutrition.
