    Study Notes

    Digestion Process

    • The breakdown of large and complex food molecules into absorbable units is called digestion.

    Types of Digestion in Animals

    • Digestion occurs by both mechanical and chemical means in omnivorous and carnivorous animals.

    Components of Digestion

    • Simple organic components resulting from digestion include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
    • Vitamins are NOT categorized as a simple organic component produced during digestion.

    Intracellular Digestion

    • Digestion that occurs within the cells is termed intracellular digestion.

    Waste Products of Intracellular Digestion

    • After intracellular digestion in unicellular animals, waste products are typically expelled from the cell.

    Energy from Digestion

    • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and other energy molecules provide energy once food is digested into absorbable units.
