1. Assimilation is the movement of digested food molecules into the cells of the body where they are used. For example: glucose is used in respiration to provide energy.
2. Through the action of rumination, they ferment the food, regurgitate and chew their food before the main digestion process. ... The general process of the food digestion begins from the mouth to the food pipe, from the stomach to the intestine and continues. In ruminants, this process is completely different.
3. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped, hollow structure located under the liver and on the right side of the abdomen. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver.
4.Absorption is taking simple molecules, which were produced as a result of digestion into the body (blood stream/lymph) from the intestinal cavity. Assimilation is making new compounds from the absorbed molecules, which are necessary for normal cell functioning or to produce energy.
