What is the structure responsible for absorption of excess water?
colon
What is the organ primarily involved in water absorbstion and feces formation?
The intestines, but water reabsorption occurs mostly in the lower small intestines. Feces formation along with some more fluid absorption occurs in the colon of the large intestines. But the large intestines' primary job is to compact liquid waste into solid waste.
Why does the colon not have villi?
Because Villi is a way for the small intestinal to increase it's surface. thus providing more space and more cells for absorption(main function). The colon on the other hand,it's primary function is to propel feces to the rectum (though is does absorb water and salts and some vitamins) and there's no need to increase it's surface because doing so doesn't help achieving it's function.
How do angiosperms survive drought?
They have a Trunk that stores their water so they can use it another time when they need it. Plants have adapted to drought by developing better water absorption root system. Conserving water and having devices to minimize transpiration rate by its areal parts.

cilia cilia is wrong. The correct answer is microvilli. cilia is more for movement

What the function of the descending colon?
Its function is primarily the absorption of water from fecal matter.
The organ is responsible for most food and water absorption and feces formation?
the colon
What is the colons main function?
The food after digestion is in a liquid form and once it enters the colon the colon tends to absorb all the water to give some consistency to the stools. So the main function of colon is absorption of water
Where does the absorption of water and processing of undigested material occur?
The absorption of excess water from waste and the compaction of any undigestible material (fiber) into feces occurs in the large intestine, which is also called the colon.
When the mucosa of the colon is unable to maintain its usual levels of water absorption and secrets larger than normal?
Diarrhea
Why does food stays in your colon for 10 hours or for several days?
Your colon is similar to a trash can. Other than absorption of water, it has no further use for the residue that your body can't use.
Most intestinal absorption occurs in the?
small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine
Where is the absorption site of carvedilol phosphate?
