Fadi and Ziad meet at a restaurant for lunch. Each one of them chooses a menu as presented in document 1.Four

Name Fadi Ziad

Menu Fish + carrots + grapes Chicken + Salad + apple

hours after lunch, we remove a sample of the contents of the small intestine of Fadi and another sample from the intestine of Ziad.

Nutrients of the contents of the small intestine of each of Fadi and Ziad Glucose, Amino acids, Fatty acids, glycerol

Document 2

Document 2 reveals some of the nutrients of these contents. a- Determine the organic material which is at the origin of each nutrient shown in document 2. b- Explain why the nutrients of the small intestine of each of Fadi and Ziad are the same, although the two menus are different. After this meal, the analysis of blood that leaves the small intestine of each of Fadi and Ziad shows an increase in the quantity of glucose, amino acids c- Formulate a hypothesis that explains this increase.
