Which statements about absorption of vitamins or minerals are true? Select all that apply. Micronutrients may be in competition for absorption with each other. Vitamins and minerals are efficiently absorbed by the body between 85% and 99% of what is consumed. To be useful for cellular function, vitamins must remain in their original chemical structure. Calcium found in plant sources is more readily absorbed than from animal sources. Absorption of some vitamins and minerals can be influenced by what sort of foods are consumed within the same meal.
