your cells get ENERGY
What happens when blood passes cells?
Oxygen and other nutrients diffuse out of blood by osmosis, and blood takes up carbon dioxide and other waste products given off by cells.
What happens when nutrients and oxygen combine inside your cell?
Oxidation of nutrients takes place to release energy in our cells. This is called respiration.
What absorbtion is used for in digestive system?
Absorption allows the nutrients that were produced during digestion to get "sucked up" and passed to the cells. Remember, we are just a bunch of cells and we must keep them alive. So, the nutrients are absorbed, given to the cells (via the circulatory system), and then they can use the nutrients to survive.

What happens to the nutrients of the tree branch if it is dead?
When a plant dies, that nutrition is locked up within the plant's cells
What happens when blood flows past cells?
When blood capillaries flow past cells, diffusion of oxygen, wastes, and nutrients occurs. This transfer maintains cellular homeostasis.
How nutrients are used by cells?
Nutrients are used by the body's cells as a source of energy
Do all cells assimilate nutrients?
The assimilation of nutrients refers to how cells use energy. Not all cells assimilate nutrients because some are not active.
Describe how nutrients are used by cells?
Nutrients are used by the body's cells as a source of energy
What happens in the alimentary canal?
