Nutrition in Animals Concept Map Explained
A nutrition in animals concept map shows how animals obtain and use food. Nutrition begins with ingestion, where food is taken into the body. Next comes digestion, which breaks large food molecules into smaller, soluble ones. Those molecules are then absorbed into the blood and used in assimilation, while undigested waste leaves through egestion.
- Ingestion: taking in food through the mouth or another opening
- Digestion: mechanical and chemical breakdown of food by enzymes
- Absorption: movement of digested nutrients across the gut wall
- Assimilation: using absorbed nutrients for energy, growth and repair
- Egestion: removing undigested material as faeces
Use the map to revise each stage in order and to compare feeding types. To build a map from your own class notes, try CogniGuide.

Nutrition in Animals FAQ
Common questions about animal nutrition and concept maps.
What are the main types of nutrition in animals?
Animals are usually herbivores, carnivores or omnivores, based on what they eat. Some, like parasites, get food from a host organism. Each type has teeth and digestive systems suited to its diet.
What is the difference between digestion and absorption?
Digestion breaks food into smaller molecules using enzymes and mechanical action. Absorption is the movement of these small molecules through the wall of the small intestine into the blood.
Can I make a nutrition in animals map from my own notes?
Yes. Upload a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or text file, and CogniGuide turns it into an interactive mind map you can expand and edit.
Is it free to create a concept map, and can I quiz myself with it?
There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. You can also turn any map into a quiz to test yourself.
