Which of the following activities does the digestive tract do? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
extracts nutrients
B
discards waste
C
retains waste
D
absorbs nutrients

Explanation

The digestive tract breaks food down to release nutrients, then absorbs those nutrients into the body. It also eliminates undigested material as waste. It does not retain waste as a normal function, so “retains waste” is not correct.
