Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Undigested food goes here. Water and mineral salts from undigested food are absorbed. What organ am I?

A	mouth
B	stomach
C	small intestine
D	large intestine

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine is the long, thick lowermost part of the digestive system which is about 5 feet in length. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine reabsorbs water from the undigested food and stores waste until elimination. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the primary components of food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as faeces before being removed by egestion or defecation.
