A Nutritional Monomer That Can Be Transported in the Blood

Question

A nutritional monomer that can be transported in the blood after a typical meal is
A)sucrose.
B)maltose.
C)fatty acid.
D)dipeptide.
E)trinucleotide.

Accepted Answer

Fatty acids can be transported in the blood after a typical meal as they are a component of dietary fats that are broken down in the small intestine and absorbed into the bloodstream. Sucrose and maltose are disaccharides that need to be broken down into monosaccharides before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Dipeptides are products of protein digestion that need to be further broken down into amino acids before they can be transported in the blood. Trinucleotides are not a nutritional monomer and cannot be transported in the blood after a typical meal.
