1.) Identify the major macronutrient found in avocados.
2.) For the major macronutrient found in this item, list the enzymes (include sources) and explain the building block(s) that remain after chemical digestion.
3) In your own words, explain how this nutrient is absorbed. This explanation should include specific types of transport across the plasma membrane of absorptive cells as well as the type of circulation the nutrient will enter.
4) List all of the vessels that this nutrient will travel through beginning at its site of digestion and traveling to the right atrium of the heart.
5) Imagine the nutrients from your food travel through the circulatory system and finally arrive at a skeletal muscle. Predict the fate of these molecules within a skeletal muscle cell. Think about the structures present in skeletal muscles, their energy demands, and the different types of metabolic pathways that might be used.

2. Polyphenol oxidase, lipase and protease
3. nutrients pass into the blood vessels in the wall of the
intestine through a process of diffusion after digestion. The
epithelial cells of the villi transport nutrients from the lumen of
the intestine into these capillaries ( amino acids and
carbohydrates) and lacteals (lipids).
4. These blood vessels are, Blood capilleries absorbs the nutriemts
from digestive system then circulates or open to veins that
transport this blood to right atrium and then arteries take blood
away from heart.
