Detailed explanation-1: -Further digestion and absorption take place in the small intestine. 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-2: -Formation and elimination of feces After the consumption of food, the small intestine firstly absorbs approximately 90% of ingested water, leaving the large intestine to absorb any remaining water. This process involves the conversion of liquid chyme residue into feces.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the time food reaches the large intestine, the work of absorbing nutrients is nearly finished. The large intestine’s main job is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste (poop) to be excreted.
