- Ingestion: To eat, typically orally
- Digestion: Chemical breakdown of nutrients requiring enzymes to get smaller pieces (small enough to be absorbed)
- Absorption: Passing of nutrients through small intestinal wall into the inside of the body (into one of two transportation systems)
- Transportation: Act of carrying nutrients in the vascular or lymphatic system First four pathways generally occur in order

End products of metabolism = Energy (ATP) + H2O + CO2(carbon dioxide)
- Interaction- One/Many nutrients working with other nutrients
