(a)
Majority of the carbohydrates are absorbed as monosaccharides in the stomach and middle part of the small intestine (jejunum). Glucose and amino acids are absorbed by active transport. Glucose is absorbed in the stomach and jejunum, while around 95 – 98% amino acids are absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum
