Digestion is the process of breakdown of large food molecules into small particles with the help of digestive juices and enzymes. The smaller food molecules can be easily absorbed in the small intestine.
Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides, proteins into amino acids, fats into triglycerides and simple fats. Since, the cupcake contains 23 grams of carbohydrate the monosaccharides is most abundant in the digestive system.
