Question

what is the correct sequence for the four stages of food processing? (1 point) ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination absorption, ingestion, digestion, elimination digestion, absorption, ingestion, elimination ingestion, absorption, elimination, digestion

Explanation:

To determine the correct sequence of food processing stages, we analyze each stage:

• Ingestion is the first step (taking in food).
• Next, digestion breaks down food into smaller molecules.
• Then, absorption occurs as nutrients are taken into the body.
• Finally, elimination removes undigested waste.

The other options have incorrect orders (e.g., absorption or digestion can’t come before ingestion). The first option follows this logical order.

Answer:

A. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination
