Why are some molecules absorbed into the blood stream, but some molecules are not?

• Some molecules are bigger than others.

• Some molecules are liquids.

• Some molecules are healthier for you.

• Some molecules are smaller than others.

When you eat, what happens to the fiber in your food?

• Fiber is broken down into starch molecules and absorbed

• Fiber is too big to be absorbed, so it is excreted as solid waste

• Fiber is broken down into glucose and absorbed

• Fiber is coming together and getting bigger. Then it is absorbed.
