This is a quiz so I will appreciate the correct answer!

The food that will be most completely digested in the system is option D.

D. Pasta

The reason the selected option is correct is as follows:

The given parts of the digestive system and the foods digested are as follows;

Mouth; The digestion that takes place in the mouth is the chewing of food into smaller bites that increases the surface area, and the addition of saliva that starts carbohydrate digestionSalivary gland, secretes saliva that allows food to be easily swallowed as well as chemically digests some starchesStomach; Mechanical digestion, by mixing of food and chemical digestion of protein, separation of fat from other types of food, and absorption of substances that are lipid-solubleDuodenum processes digested food coming from the stomach and absorbs nutrientsPancreas secretes hormones that controls the blood glucose levels and digestive enzymes to digest lipids, proteins, and carbohydrate

Therefore, given that the system does not contain the small intestine, where fat is emulsified by bile and digested by enzymes, the food that will be most completely digested will be one with least fat which is Pasta

Digestion because it removes waste

It's either -limiting factors or -scarce resources but i'd go with my first answer since the food and water are abundant they really aren't scarce
