the process of decomposing organic matter (as in sewage) by bacteria or by chemical action or heat the organic process by which food is converted into substances that can be absorbed into the body learning and coming to understand ideas and information; 'his appetite for facts was better than his digestion'
Digestion is the process of metabolism whereby a biological entity processes a substance, in order to chemically and mechanically convert the substance for the body to use.
In alchemy, Digestion is a process in which gentle heat is applied to a substance over a period of several weeks.
The process the body uses to break down food into simple substances for energy, growth, and cell repair.
The biochemical decomposition of organic matter which results in the formation of mineral and simpler organic compounds.
decomposition of organic waste materials by the action of microbes; the process of sewage treatment by the decomposition of organic matter.
the conversion of food into a form that can be absorbed by the body
the breaking down and absorption of the food you eat.
The breaking down of food into forms the body can use.
Process by which organisms break down sludge, creating as by-products methane gas, carbon dioxide, solid organic material and water. (Aerobic digestion takes place in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic digestion takes place with the absence of oxygen.)
The two-part process that changes food into a form usable by body cells.
The process by which larger molecules of food substance are broken down mechanically and chemically into smaller molecules that can be absorbed.
The process of decomposing organic matter in sewage by bacteria. The solids at the treatment plant go into large digester tanks where they are eaten by bacteria.
The hydrolysis of macromolecules resulting in the release of component structures.
Process in which food is broken down by the stomach and upper small intestine into forms that can be absorbed by the body.
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, belching, passing gas, stomach pain, cramps, heartburn.
(1) In nutrition: the breakdown, in the alimentary tract, of complex organic substances into simpler substances so that they may be used in metabolisim. (2) In waste water treatment: catalytic activity, enzymatic activity and bacterial action in waste water treatment.
The process by which food that has been taken into the mouth is broken down so that is can be absorbed and used by the body’s cells. Digestion involves physically breaking down the food by chewing and churning in the stomach. ...
the process by which large food particles are broken down and made soluble with the help of enzymes and our teeth
breaking down food in the stomach and intestines
The term referring to the entire process of breaking down food into simple substances, its absorption and subsequent storage in the body.
A loose term referring to the treatment that is undergone in a septic tank or pit. It is the action of breaking the sewage down into solids, liquids, and gases. BACK TO PAGE
the process by which complex molecules in food are broken down and absorbed into the body and used as energy sources
the breakdown of food substances to molecules that can then be absorbed and used in cellular processes of living organisms.
The biological decomposition of organic matter in sludge resulting in partial gasification, liquefaction, and mineralization of putrescible and offensive solids.
the process by which food is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract so that it can be absorbed into the blood stream and around the body
The process of transforming the foods we eat into units for absorption
