Detailed explanation-1: -The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Absorption. The simple molecules that result from chemical digestion pass through cell membranes of the lining in the small intestine into the blood or lymph capillaries. This process is called absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of the digested food being diffused or actively transported into the blood to be supplied to the rest of the body is known as absorption. Digestion is the process of breaking down food in the form of complex substances into simpler substances to ease the process of absorption.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four steps in the digestion process: ingestion, the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, nutrient absorption, and elimination of indigestible food.
