Question

differentiate between Igestion and Assimilation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Digestion is the process in which food containg large, insoluble molecules is broken down into small, water soluble molecules. Ingestion is the process of taking food into the body. Assimilation is the process in which the absorbed food is taken in by body cells and used for energy, growth and repair.

Answer 2

Answer:

Assimilation is converting these molecules and integrating them with the living tissues. In simple words, it is the process of synthesizing biological compounds / macro molecules from the absorbed simple molecules through constructive metabolism. It is because of this process the body can synthesize essential compounds (enzymes, hormones, nucleic acids, etc.) it needs to function properly. Assimilation helps cell growth and development as well as new cell production.

Ingestion is the consumption of a substance by an organism. In animals, it normally is accomplished by taking in the substance through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract, such as through eating or drinking.
