what is difference between-.- Absorption and Assimilation.
Answers
Answer:
Absorption is taking simple molecules, which were produced as a result of digestion into the body (blood stream/lymph) from the intestinal cavity. Assimilation is making new compounds from the absorbed molecules, which are necessary for normal cell functioning or to produce energy.
• Absorption is mainly taking place at the small intestine. Assimilation is taking place in the liver or any other cell.
• In absorption, nutrients are added to the blood stream or lymph, but in assimilation, nutrients are taken out from the blood stream/ lymph.
Answer:
Assimilation is basically the conversion of a nutrient into the fluid or solid substance of the body, by the processes of digestion and absorption. So, in short, we can say that absorption is moving food into the cells after breaking down the food which is digested, while assimilation is making food part of a cell which occurs after absorption.
