Which of the Following is TRUE of the Absorptive State

Question

Which of the following is TRUE of the absorptive state?
A) Energy input is less than output and thus is stored in macromolecules.
B) Energy input is equal to energy output and thus, the body is in energy balance.
C) Energy input exceeds output and thus is released from breakdown of macromolecules.
D) Energy input exceeds output and thus is stored in macromolecules.
E) Energy input is less than output and thus is released from breakdown of macromolecules.

Accepted Answer

During the absorptive state, the body digests food and absorbs nutrients, leading to an excess of energy input over output. This excess energy is stored in the form of macromolecules such as glycogen and fats.
