Answer 1

Answer:

Absorption: The process of absorbing food in the form of nutrients into the blood stream of the body. Assimilation: The process of nutrients being absorbed by each cell of the body in the form of energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Absorption: Absorption is the process of absorbing the digested food molecules into our bloodstream to the target sites.

This process occurs either by the passive, active or facilitated transport mechanisms in the body.

The small intestine is the organ where absorption occurs

Assimilation: Assimilation is the process by which absorbed nutrients from food are utilised in the tissues for various activities such as, to get energy, for growth and repair, after getting transported through blood or lymph.
