Both absorption and assimilation are steps of heterotrophic nutrition. The key difference between absorption and assimilation is that absorption is the process of taking digested simple molecules into bloodstream/lymph via the intestinal villi and microvilli while assimilation is the process of synthesizing ...
: the incorporation or conversion of nutrients into protoplasm that in animals follows digestion and absorption and in higher plants involves both photosynthesis and root absorption 3 : the process of receiving new facts or of responding to new situations in conformity with what is already available...
(by extension) The absorption of new ideas into an existing cognitive structure. (phonology) A sound change process by which the phonetics of a speech segment becomes more like that of another segment in a word (or at a word boundary), so that a change of phoneme occurs. ...
Assimilation and accommodation are very important processes that are believed to be complimentary and necessary for cognitive development of human beings. If this sounds too heavy, think of assimilation as the process of absorption; as like a local culture absorbs cultural influences from outside cultu...
Assimilation policies were underpinned by racist assumptions and settler nationalist imperatives. Aborigines of mixed descent were a special focus for governments and others concerned with Aboriginal welfare, "uplift" and assimilation. This is most evident in the discourse of biological absorption of the ...

Instead of appropriating captured pieces and later dropping them back on the board as your own, as you do in Chessgi or Shogi, captured pieces are sometimes assimilated into the capturing piece, transforming it into a more powerful compound piece. The difference between Assimilation Chess and ...
The net assimilation rate is the difference between ingestion rate and egestion rate, expressed in terms of dry mass or – more correctly but more rarely – energy. Assimilation efficiency is the ratio of assimilation rate to ingestion rate (in %). In keeping with the traditional view, remarka...
The assimilation of gases and vapors. Assimilation The conversion of nutriment into the fluid or solid substance of the body, by the processes of digestion and absorption, whether in plants or animals. Not conversing the body, not repairing it by assimilation, but preserving it by ventilation. ...
between the body’s alimentary intake of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and the end products resulting from their breakdown. The important factor in assimilation is not the absolute degree of digestibility but the rate at which food substances are digested, which may limit subsequent absorption. ...
