Ingestion
•Consumption of nutrients from food
Digestion
•Digestive enzymes break down nutrients in the stomach and small intestines
•Carbohydrates → Sugar
•Fats → Fatty Acids
•Proteins → Amino Acids
Absorption
•Nutrients cross from the small intestine in to the blood stream
Storage
•Sugars → Liver and Muscle (stored as glycogen)
•Fatty Acids → Adipose Tissue (body fat)
•Amino Acids → Liver (makes new proteins, and eliminates excess amino acids)
