ONCE FOOD IS BROKEN DOWN CHEMICALLY, IT IS TURNED INTO:
A
BOLUS
B
CHYME
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once your food is broken down, your stomach stores it in an acidic liquid called chyme. Chyme is gradually released into the small intestine. Your small intestine is a long, highly-segmented structure that’s covered in microscopic strands called microvilli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chyme results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus and consists of partially digested food, water, hydrochloric acid, and various digestive enzymes. Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins.

Detailed explanation-3: -After chyme is produced in the stomach, it is sent to the small intestine where most of the nutrients are absorbed. Next, it moves to the large intestine where water is absorbed and chyme becomes more concentrated. Eventually, chyme is processed into feces and is expelled through the rectum and anus.
