What is the process of breaking down complex food molecules into simpler food molecules?
Catabolism is the process in which a complex substance is broken down into its smaller components. For example is you excersice for a sufficient amount of time, your body will begin "burining fat" (i.e., breaking it down into smaller molecules to release the necessary energy required for continued exercise).
What is the diffrence Absorption and assimilation?
