Answer:
The process of taking in food by an animal and utilization in the body is called nutrition.
Explanation:
Ingestion: It's the consumption of food material by an organism. Humans ingest food through the mouth and then to the gastrointestinal tract, whereas single-cell organisms absorb food through their membrane.
Digestion: It's the process of converting or breaking down the food materials into smaller units. The large insoluble form of food is converted into its smaller water-soluble form.
Nutrition: A biochemical and physiological process where food is ingested by the organism and digested and absorbed for its growth or propagation.
Egestion: It's the process of excreting unwanted or undigested food.
