does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.

The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, with little to no involvement in chemical or mechanical digestion. Its main role is to form and store feces before they are eliminated from the body.
Mechanical and chemical digestion are not the same.
when your teeth grind food is it chemical or mechanical
Light absorption is a physical process; but the effects of the absorption may be chemical.

Mechanical breakdown helps chemical breakdown because when you chew, chemical breakdown is going on all at the same time. So, that is going to chemical because if you didn't have saliva (chemical breakdown) if would take real long to digest your food.
