digestion and absorption summary notes + mastering multiple choice questions + NCERT exemplar question + statement based questions + matching type questions + assertion and reasons all in one with brief explanation
Digestion breaks down ingested food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. It begins in the mouth with mechanical and chemical breakdown, continues in the stomach with further digestion, and completes in the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Absorption occurs through the intestinal lining via active transport, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion, providing the body with essential nutrients for energy and growth.
