AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the process of breaking down complex and large food molecules into smaller, simpler forms that can be absorbed by the body. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The process that fits this description is known as "digestion." Digestion involves the breakdown of food substances into smaller components that can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. 3. **Mechanisms of Digestion**: Digestion occurs through two main methods: - **Mechanical Digestion**: This involves physical processes such as chewing and the churning of food in the stomach, which helps to break down food into smaller pieces. - **Biochemical Digestion**: This involves chemical processes where enzymes break down complex molecules (like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) into simpler molecules (like amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct term for the process of converting complex and large food molecules into smaller and simple absorbable forms is "digestion." **Final Answer**: Digestion ---
