<u>Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.</u>
Digestion is nothing but breaking down of substances into simpler forms, which the body can use. We eat many things and they have very complex compounds, our body cannot use these compounds. So, different parts of our digestive system breaks down different compounds to simpler forms, so that our body can use it for different functions.
