Assimilation

Assimilation is the process of synthesizing new compounds from the

absorbed molecules from the small intestine. Once the molecules are
absorbed into the bloodstream, they are transported and distributed
to every cell in the body. Therefore, assimilation involves the
conversion and integration of these molecules with the living tissues.
It could also be termed as the development of macromolecules
through simple absorbed molecules. It helps in the cell growth and
development and new cell production.

Moreover, assimilation mainly takes place in the liver. It synthesizes

essential components such as enzymes hormones, nucleic acids, etc.
Therefore, assimilation is an important process to maintain cellular
activities at optimum conditions.
