Part B
Which of the following statements regarding glucose absorption is

Answer 1

The body primarily absorbs carbohydrates in the form of **monosaccharides**. This includes glucose, fructose, and galactose. Other forms of carbohydrates, such as disaccharides (e.g., sucrose and lactose) and oligosaccharides, must be broken down into monosaccharides before absorption can occur. Polysaccharides (e.g., starch and glycogen) also need to be digested into simpler sugars before the body can absorb them.
