Trace the passage of proteids, fats, and carbohydrates from the small intestine into the general circulation.
The close chemical relation between the different carbohydrates makes such a conversion easily possible.
Proteids also serve this purpose, but they are not so well adapted to supplying energy as are the carbohydrates and the fats.
Carbohydrates are supplied in abundance by potatoes, rice, corn, sugar, and molasses.
Since neither fats nor carbohydrates contain nitrogen, they are frequently classed together as non-nitrogenous foods.

We may use carbohydrates for this purpose, as they are economical and digestible.
