Detailed explanation-1: -It is the movement of the digested food molecules into the cells of the body from where they are used. The liver is important in assimilation . For example, glucose is used in respiration to provide energy, and also amino acids are used to build new proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assimilation is the process of absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other chemicals from food as part of the nutrition of an organism. In humans, this is always done with a chemical breakdown (enzymes and acids) and physical breakdown (oral mastication and stomach churning).
Detailed explanation-3: -The absorption of nutrients into the body after digestion in the intestine and its transformation in biological tissues and fluids is called assimilation.
