Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Absorption refers to the movement of nutrients and other substances from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Peristalsis is the muscular contractions that help move food through the digestive tract. Digestion is the breakdown of food into simpler compounds, and hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a compound using water. However, absorption is specifically the process by which these simpler compounds are taken up by the body.
