Where does maximum absorption of food take place in vertebrate alimentary canal?
Almost all of the food you take in is absorbed in the small intestine. Most of the water you drink is absorbed in the large intestine.
What is the most important absorbing organ in the alimentary canal?
small intestine
What part of the alimentary canal does most absorption of nutrients take place?
Small intestine
Which part of the alimentary canal is the most acidic?
The stomach is the most acidic part of the alimentary canal. It has a low pH due to the presence of gastric acid, predominantly hydrochloric acid, which helps with digestion and kills bacteria in the food.
What are the two divisions of the digestive system?
Digestive organs and the system in general can be divided into two parts: the accessory organs and the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal is the GI tract and the accessory organs are things like the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, and gallbladder.
Where is most of the water absorbed in the human body?

Can humans digest carbohydrates?
Most carbohydrates, yes. Though there are a few carbs, notably cellulose (fiber), that pass through the alimentary canal unchanged and undigested.
Where is most of the sun's energy absorbed in water?
Most of the sun's energy is absorbed in the top few meters of water, where sunlight can penetrate. This energy is absorbed by water molecules and particles in the water, which then transfer heat to the surrounding water through conduction and convection.
Where is most of the water absorbed in the digestive tract?

How do animals get and digest food?
Insects have a complete digestive system this means food is procesed in a tube like enclosure, called the alimentary canal. When an insect eats saliva is being mix with the food. This is the first step off digesting. Next the food comes to the foregut, here you find int.al. the crop where food is stored until it can be processed futher. In some insects the crop end in the so called proventriculus where dentricles can grind the food Now the food reaches the midgut. Here enzyms are secreted and water and nutrients are absorbed. The hindgut is the last part of the digestive system in this part most of the water is absorbed (90%).
What is in the food that helps it pass through your gut?
I would say any liquid, either ingested or secreted, but in most part, peristalsis (the wavelike muscular contractions of the alimentary canal) of the gut does most of the contribution in allowing food to be passed through.
