← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when an animal's intestinal transit decreases?
A)Increased microbiome metabolic byproduct absorption✓
B)Enhanced nutrient uptake kinetics
C)Reduced selective absorption efficiency
D)Decreased gut wall oxygen diffusion
💡 Explanation
Increased microbiome byproduct absorption happens because slower transit time prolongs exposure via passive diffusion, increasing absorption. Therefore, metabolic byproduct absorption increases, rather than decreasing transit time where absorption kinetics limits it.
