What to Focus On

  • Nutrition is essential for growth, energy, and repair.
  • Holozoic: ingestion and internal digestion (e.g., humans).
  • Saprotrophic: external digestion of dead matter (e.g., fungi).

  • Five steps: ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, egestion.
  • Digestion converts proteins → amino acids, carbohydrates → glucose, fats → fatty acids and glycerol.
  • Only simple molecules can be absorbed and used by cells.

  • Intracellular: digestion inside the cell (e.g., Amoeba).
  • Extracellular: digestion in a cavity or tube (e.g., humans).
  • All animals except sponges show extracellular digestion.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Bile contains enzymes that digest fats.

Digestion of proteins starts in the small intestine.

The large intestine absorbs most nutrients like glucose and amino acids.
