whate is assimilation?how does small intestine facilitate in assimilation
Answers
Explanation:
Assimilation is the movement of digested food molecules into the cells of the body where they are used.
For example:
- Glucose is used in respiration to provide energy.
- Amino acids are used to build new proteins
The liver is important in assimilation. For example, it converts glucose into glycogen (a complex carbohydrate used for storage) and amino acids into proteins.
The liver is involved in the process of deamination. This is the removal of the nitrogen-containing part of amino acids, to form urea, followed by the release of energy from the remainder of the amino acid
Answer:
As the food gets broken down into smaller and simpler particles, it has to get absorbed into the bloodstream. It is only through the blood and circulatory system that the digested food reaches various cells and tissues. The small intestine is the organ where absorption occurs. ...
