Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the absorptive state, ingested nutrients are absorbed from the GI tract and enter the bloodstream to provide energy for the body. This includes glucose from carbohydrates, amino acids from proteins, and fatty acids from triglycerides. Insulin secretion is high during this period to facilitate the uptake and utilization of these nutrients.
