Relate the anatomy of the digestive tract to the processes of ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion. What does mechanical digestion in the stomach involve? How does the integumentary system interact with digestive system?

We constructed a general relationship between prey concentration and absorption efficiency (AE; previously termed assimilation efficiency) in the cosmopolitan calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa . The relationships between observed AEs and prey concentrations developed differently on different prey species. While ...
The central limitation hypothesis postulates that energy budgets are limited by the capacity for energy assimilation. Contradictory evidence from in vitro studies of nutrient uptake capacity of intestinal tissues indicates a margin, however, that could allow a higher rate of energy acquisition than ...
