Food is the main source of carbohydrates, aminoacids, lipids and vitamins. Each of these are absorbed through the duodenum, yeyuni or ileum, by active and passive transports. They flow into the bloodstream and go through the liver, which is in charge of metabolizing these substances in order to store them and to keep normal glucose levels. Glucose is transformed into glycogen, and is slowly released to keep the 80/100g% standard glucose levels necessary for organs like brain and heart to function.

Why is eating meat an inefficient way to obtain the energy originally captured by plants?
It is an inefficient way of obtaining the energy that plants originally had because as the food chain progresses the energy obtained by each level decreases. As humans, we are at the top of the food chain. Therefore we obtain the least amount of energy.
