Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.
carbohydrate digestion doesn't occur in the stomach and the large intestine.
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
The three areas are: - the esophagus - the large intestine - the rectum
