Answer:

small intestine

Step-by-step explanation:

After digestion, absorption of amino acid takes place in the small intestine which is a principal organ for the absorption of nutrients. The capillaries of villi collect the amino acid and sugars taken up by the villi into the bloodstream through diffusion. Villi are meant for absorption in the small intestine.

Simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed into the blood capillaries of the small intestine. Lipids, on the other hand, are absorbed into the lacteals of the small intestine. The lacteals are small, specialized tubes that are part of the lymphatic system and are responsible for transporting absorbed lipids away from the small intestine and into the bloodstream.
