Jayleen Reid · Answer 1

the correct order of events in the nutritional processing of this food is ingestion - digestion - absorption - egestion.

Explanation:

1.) Ingestion involves taking food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing to aid in digestion.

2.) Digestion involves the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.

3.) Absorption involves the in take of the digested food into the bloodstream

4.) Egestion involves the removal of undigested food substance from the body.
