Explanation:

Absorption in the context of digestion refers to the process where nutrients from digested food are taken into the bloodstream. Breaking food into smaller pieces is digestion (not absorption). Swallowing food is ingestion. Getting rid of undigested food is elimination.

When your body absorbs the nutrients into your blood stream so it can deliver them to your cells.
