Cells require nutrients from the food we eat to function properly. Nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals are essential for cell growth, repair, and overall metabolism. Without these nutrients, cells would not be able to perform their functions efficiently, leading to various health issues.
Cells are the basic unit of life that make up all living organisms, while nutrients are substances that provide nourishment for cells to function properly. Cells are typically complex structures with various functions, while nutrients are simple compounds that provide energy and building blocks for cells. Cells can reproduce and maintain homeostasis, while nutrients are obtained from the environment and processed by cells for survival.

In sponges, water containing nutrients flows through numerous channels in their body. Specialized cells called choanocytes capture nutrients from the water and pass them onto other cells in the sponge's body for distribution. This allows for the efficient dispersal of nutrients to all cells in the sponge.
Cells in the blood do not provide nutrients to the other cells of the body. The nutrients are in the blood plasma (liquid). These nutrient diffuse through the vessel wall and travel to the bodies cells in the interstitial fluid (the fluid around individual cells). The epidermis does not have blood vessel running through it, so the nutrient must pass from the dermis layer of cells.
The assimilation of nutrients refers to how cells use energy. Not all cells assimilate nutrients because some are not active.

When cells are given nutrients, they metabolize them, and grow and divide to create more cells. If they are not given nutrients, they die.

The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels in the
The nutrients help the cells to mature and grow. They also need these nutrients to create ATP for energy to work.
Epidermal cells receive nutrients primarily through diffusion from the underlying dermis layer, where blood vessels supply nutrients. Additionally, some epidermal cells can also absorb nutrients from sweat and sebum produced by skin glands.
Diffusion of nutrients among cells of an organism ceases when all cells have reached an equilibrium where nutrients are evenly distributed and there is no longer a concentration gradient driving the diffusion process. This typically occurs when all cells have sufficient nutrients and there is no need for further transfer.
