I'm assuming you mean 'where' in the body, as opposed to 'when'. In terms of when, it happens all the time!
The exchange of nutrients from food mainly happens in the intestine, though other nutrients can be absorbed elsewhere in the body sometimes. These enter your blood stream here and travel to the relevant area of your body using the circulation. Waste will enter your blood stream as well but be filtered out of your blood by your kidneys and is passed out of the body as urine.

What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
How does diffusion help a cell?
it helps the cell exchange nutrients through the cell membrane as well as expel waste.
Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells?
capillaries is where the exchange of materials occur such as; gases,nutrients, hormones, and so on.between the blood and the interstitial fluid.
What is the main function of the cell membrane?
Controls exchange of materials such as nutrients and waste between cells and their environment. Has other important functions for example to enable cells to receive hormones.
What energy does fungi use?
Fungi get their energy from waste materials and decaying organisms. They are able to use hyphae which absorb nutrients in one area. The hyphae will then grow out as a means to absorb other nutrients.
In which blood vessels does the exchange of oxygen and food nutrients and waste materials from the blood take place?
Capillary.capillariesCapillaries.Blood flow moves from arteries, to arterioles, to capillaries, to venules, to veins, to the heart, and then back to arteries. Capillaries are where the exchange of oxygen and other materials happens.Capillaries
Why do cells exchange materials with the environment around them?
So they can have food oxygen and other things from the environment
Where does the exchange of oxygen waste and nutrients occur?
Lymph vessels
What happens to the waste materials produced by the consumers?
The waste materials become part of the soil that provide nutrients to the growing plants.
What vessels exchange materials with the extra cellular fluid and the blood?
Capillaries. Since they are only once endothelial cell thick, they can exchange gas, nutrients, and waste across their membrane. Capillaries in the brain have endothelial cells close together to onyl allow a slecetive exchange of materials, while capillaries in the kidney or liver have gaps between the endothelial cells to allow the exchange of a lot of materials.
What 2 materials move across the cell membrane?
waste and nutrients
Where does the exchange of oxygenfood nutrients and waste materials take place?
You don't specify which organism you are asking about, but I assume you mean in humans. These processes happen all over the body between the blood capillaries and the cells. If you mean exchange with the outside world, then oxygen is exchanged in the lungs, food nutrients in the small intestine, and nitrogenous waste in the kidneys. However, waste carbon dioxide is exchanged through the lungs and other wastes through the skin.
What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
Exchange of gases and waste materials occurs by diffusion across the walls of the?
capillaries
How does the exchange of nutrients and oxygen with waste and cardon dioxide take place in the capillaries?
Its all diffusion.
What is the function of simple epithelial tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
Which describes the waste-exchange method of handling hazardous waste materials?
One company's waste may be sold to another company a needed material
