Create diagram or infographic on one macronutrient’s journey through digestion and absorption in the body. Description The learning objectives for this chapter focus heavily on mechanisms and processes involved in nutrient digestion and absorption, specifically how food molecules are broken down into their unique constituents and absorbed for usage in the body. This assignment requires students to create a diagram or infographic on a macronutrient (carbohydrates, lipids/fats, or proteins) of choice, and how it progresses through the body during digestion and absorption. Students should be able to answer the following four questions: Macronutrient Source: what are some major food sources of this macronutrient? Digestion: how is this macronutrient digested? Absorption: how is this macronutrient absorbed?
