Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It takes several hours for food to reach the large intestine through the digestive tract. The minerals and water from the remaining food, that is left undigested, are absorbed in the large intestine. The goblet cells consume excess water from the undigested food residues in the large intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The role of the ascending colon is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the indigestible material, solidifying it to form stool. The descending colon stores feces that will eventually be emptied into the rectum.
