After an organism ingests food, the food moves through a series of processes known as digestion by which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules that support growth or energy production. The digestive process typically includes mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste. This process allows the body to utilize the essential nutrients from food for various functions, including growth, maintenance, and energy.
