An Animal's diet must supply chemical energy, organic building blocks, and essential nutrients
Chemical Energy: Energy available in molecules for release in chemical reaction; a form of potential energy
Essential nutrient: a substance that an organism cannot synthesize from any other material and therefore must absorb in preassembled form
Organic building blocks: simple organic molecules that serves as a fundamental unit from which larger, more complex organic molecules are made
Food processing involves ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.
Digestion: The second stage of food processing in animals; the breaking down of food into molecules small enough for the body to absorb.
-
Absorption: The third stage of food processing in animals: the uptake of small nutrient molecules by an organism's body
Elimination: The fourth and final stage of food processing in animals; the passing of undigested material out of the body

Feedback circuits regulate digestion, energy storage, and appetite
Feedback circuits: control systems where the body monitors internal conditions and adjusts processes to maintain balance
