Answer:

The kangaroo rate gains a much larger share of its water from metabolism than a human does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

As long as kangaroo rats are desert rodents that do not drink free water, they depend on preformed water in their diet and water produced by oxidation of food, this is intimately related with their metabolism, thus, the kangaroo rate gains a much larger share of its water from metabolism than a human does.

Best regards.
