• A. Digestion $\to$ Ingestion $\to$ Absorption $\to$ Assimilation $\to$ Egestion
• B. Digestion $\to$ Ingestion $\to$ Assimilation $\to$ Absorption $\to$ Egestion
• C. Ingestion $\to$ Digestion $\to$ Assimilation $\to$ Absorption $\to$ Egestion
• D. Ingestion $\to$ Digestion $\to$ Absorption $\to$ Assimilation $\to$ Egestion

Answer 1

The correct option is D Ingestion $\to$ Digestion $\to$ Absorption $\to$ Assimilation $\to$ Egestion

D. Ingestion → Digestion → Absorption → Assimilation → Egestion.

Solution: The food is first ingested by the mouth. Then the food is digested by the enzymes in the parts of the digestive system. The food is then absorbed and then assimilated into the cells of the body. The undigested food is egested.

So the correct answer is " Ingestion → Digestion → Absorption → Assimilation → Egestion.".
