Nutrition definition - correct answer the process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth. Digestion definition - correct answer It is the catabolic process that breaks down large food molecules to monomers (chemical building blocks) -carbohydrates—> monosaccharide -proteins—> amino acids -lipids—> fatty acid, Glycerol -nucleic acids—> nucleotide *the enzymatic breakdown of any food molecule is HYDROLYSIS bc it involves adding a wate...
