The process of transport and use of absorbed nutrients Is the process where nutrients are taken from the blood and into the cells Glucose is used by all cells for energy production; is an important energy source in living organisms

1. Assimilation of
Nutrients

2. Assimilation
 The process of
transport and use
of absorbed
nutrients
 Is the process
where nutrients
are taken from
the blood and
into the cells

3. Sugars
 Are converted into
glycogen and stored
in the liver while some
glucose is carried in
the blood to be
distributed throughout
the body.
 Glucose is used by
all cells for energy
production; is an
important energy
source in living

4. Amino Acids
Are converted as new
protoplasm and used for
growth and repair of worn
out parts or tissues of the
body
Used for the formation of
enzymes and hormones

5. Fats
 they are brought to the
liver to be oxidized or
stored.
 If the body has enough
glucose, fats are not
oxidized.
 Extra fats are stored in
tissues called adipose
tissues (fat storage and
insulating tissues), which
occur beneath the skin,
around the heart, the
kidneys, and in the

6.  If the body doesn’t have enough glucose,
the fats are oxidized to provide energy for
vital activities of the body

7. Stuff to Remember
 Assimilation is the process where nutrients are
brought to the cells
 Sugars are converted into glycogen and stored in
the liver and is carried through the bloodstream.
 Glucose is used by all cells for energy
production.
 Amino Acids are converted into protoplasm and it
repairs parts or tissues of the body
 Fats are brought to the liver to be oxidized or stored.
