Question

a horse’s digestive system breaks down food into small particles that the horse’s cells can use.
food is digested as it moves from the horse’s mouth through the digestive system.
what happens to most of the water from digested food?
it is released with the waste from food.
it stays in the stomach.
it is absorbed in the large intestine.

Explanation:

To determine what happens to most of the water from digested food in a horse (or generally in animals), we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Water is not mainly released with food waste. Most water is reabsorbed.
• Option 2: Water does not stay in the stomach; it moves through the digestive tract.
• Option 3: In the digestive system, the large intestine is responsible for absorbing most of the remaining water from digested food (after small intestine absorption of nutrients). This is a key function of the large intestine in digestion.

Answer:

C. It is absorbed in the large intestine. (Assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original labels were different, adjust accordingly. Based on the content, the correct option is the one stating "It is absorbed in the large intestine".)
