Digestion: process in which large insoluble molecules of food are broken down into smaller ones.
Absorption: the process by which soluble molecules produced by digestion are taken from the gut (occurs mostly in the small intestine.) The soluble products of digestion are then transported to the various tissues by the circulatory system.
Assimilation: the cells of the tissues absorb the molecules for use.
Egestion: removal of waste- undigested- products as faeces.
Excretion: removal of waste products that have been in the body.
Injestion: Ingestion is the consumption of a substance by an organism. In animals, it normally is accomplished by taking in the substance through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract, such as through eating or drinking. (Wikipedia)
ReplyDeleteExcretion is removing waste products of respiration, so basically carbon dioxide. I used to mix it up with egestion all the time, but in egestion it's never respired so it's not technically a waste product, just unused food.

DeleteThank you for the extra detail you gave :D *egestion is a waste product - metabolic waste
