What is absorption in biology?
Absorption in biology refers to the process by which substances, such as nutrients and water, are taken up by cells and tissues in the body. This process typically occurs in the digestive system, where nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body's cells.
Which two body systems are mainly responsible for taking in nutrients food molecules and getting rid of waste products?

How is the absorption important functions to the digestive system?
The two primary roles of the digestive process are absorption and secretion. The role of absorption in the digestive system is vital to the body because without it, the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and other nutrients we consume could not be used. Absorption is the process by which the nutrients in food are passed on to the blood. The majority of absorption occurs in the small intestine, the digestive tract's primary organ. After food passes through the stomach to the small intestines, it is turned into energy for the body to use. Absorption is made possible by the villi, small bristle-like protrusions in the mucosa. The mucosa is the moist tissue lining certain parts of the body's passages and organs. The villi act as channels through which the nutrients derived from digested foods can pass into the bloodstream and be carried to the rest of the body. The actual absorptionprocess is slightly different for each type of nutrient.
