The document describes three processes - digestion, absorption, and assimilation - that food undergoes before it can be used by the body's cells. Digestion breaks down butter into smaller components. Absorption involves taking nutrients like glucose, amino acids, and fats from the small intestine into the bloodstream. Assimilation is the process by which these nutrients are then used to build new body cells and tissues.
