Question

this wood mouse is eating a blackberry. the wood mouse’s small intestine will absorb particles of important nutrients, including sugar, water, and vitamins. but some waste from the blackberry will be left over.
what happens to waste from food? select all that apply.

• water from waste is absorbed in the large intestine.
• the waste is absorbed into the blood.
• the waste is removed from the body by the anus.
• the waste is removed through the large intestine.

Explanation:

To determine the correct options for what happens to waste from food, we analyze each:

1. Water from waste is absorbed in the large intestine: Correct, as the large intestine's role includes water absorption from indigestible matter.
2. The waste is absorbed into the blood: Incorrect, waste (like undigested food, toxins) is not absorbed into blood; nutrients are.
3. The waste is removed from the body by the anus: Correct, the anus is the exit point for fecal waste.
4. The waste is removed through the large intestine: Correct, waste moves through the large intestine (colon) as it's processed before elimination.

Wait, but re - evaluating: The second option "The waste is absorbed into the blood" is wrong. The correct options should be the ones where the statements are accurate about waste processing. The first option (water absorption in large intestine), third (waste removed by anus), and fourth (waste removed through large intestine) are correct. The second is incorrect as waste isn't absorbed into blood. But looking at the checkmarks in the image, maybe there was a mis - check. However, based on biological knowledge:

• Water from waste (feces - forming matter) is absorbed in the large intestine: Correct.
• Waste (undigested, etc.) is not absorbed into blood: Incorrect.
• Waste is removed from the body by the anus: Correct (defecation).
• Waste is moved through the large intestine (as part of the digestive process towards elimination): Correct.

So the correct options are the ones with accurate statements about waste handling in digestion.

Answer:

• Water from waste is absorbed in the large intestine.
• The waste is removed from the body by the anus.
• The waste is removed through the large intestine.
