ICSE Class 9 Answered
why vitamins need not to be broken down into simpler forms before absorption?

Expert Answer
Complex compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats need to be broken down into simple soluble forms so that they can be easily digested and absorbed in our body. Minerals, vitamins and water are already small enough to be absorbed by the body without being broken down. Hence, they need not be broken down into simpler forms before absorption in the body.
