Each enzyme speeds up the reactions that break the food into useable molecules, the Role of digestion is to acquire energy by digesting food into small molecules. And then absorbing these molecules. This starts in our mouth  with our saliva and chewing...and the bulk of our food is broken down in  in our stomach and small intestine. Absorption is when molecules pass into our bloodstream. Assimilation is when those molecules enter our cells. Elimination of waste is the job of the colon lymph and lungs, kidneys, and skin.
