Answer 2

Answer:

The process of obtaining energy rich carbon molecules ( or simply food) by an organism from its surrounding environment for energy, growth and repair is termed as nutrition.

The 5 steps of nutrition are as follows:-

1) INGESTION - the taking in of food into the mouth by an organism is referred to as ingestion.

2) DIGESTION - the breaking down of complex organic matter to simpler usable forms by an organism to obtain energy is digestion.

3) ABSORPTION- the taking up of digested organic matter by the villi is known as absorption. villi in small intestine absorb the digested matter.

4) ASSIMILATION- the movement of absorbed matter throughout the body so that energy is provided to each cell. It occurs via blood.

5) EGESTION - the removal of undigested solid matter from the body of an organism.
