Answer 1

Required Answer:

☑ Assimilation is the process of absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other chemicals from food within the gastrointestinal tract, as part of the nutrition of an organism.

☑ In humans, this is always done with a chemical breakdown (enzymes and acids) and physical breakdown (oral mastication and stomach churning).

Answer 2

Answer:

After you eat, your body breaks down food during digestion, absorbs the nutrients, and distributes them to cells during assimilation. Assimilation gets the nutrients from your food to your cells where they are used for growth and repair.
