• respiratory system

• circulatory system

• digestive system

Most nutrients are absorbed in the . . .

• stomach

• esophagus

• small intestine

• large intestine

Diffusion is when a small molecule like a monomer . . .

• moves through a solution of salt

• moves through a semi-permeable membrane (like the intestine lining)

• goes through a diffuser organ

In the diffusion lab, we showed that

• large molecules diffuse more easily through a membrane

• small molecules diffuse more easily through a membrane

M'Kenna is not absorbing these small molecule monomers as well as a normal person . . .

• protein

• fatty acid

• glucose

• amino acids
