What else can I help you with?
Most intestinal absorption occurs in the?
small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine
Absorption occurs in this part of the intestine?
large intestine (colon)
WHAT IS THE digestion that occurs in the large intestine is caused by?
Bacteria
Which event occurs in the large intestine?
water is recovered
Where most absorption of water occurs?
large intestine
The intestines are responsible for digestion but little absorption occurs there?
The small intestine is responsible for digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It also absorbs most nutrients. However, the large intestine is less active in it's processes. The large intestine only digests fiber and only absorbs water.
Much of the digestion that occurs in the large intestine is caused by?
The digestion that occurs in the large intestine is mainly caused by the action of gut bacteria. These bacteria help break down and ferment undigested food particles, producing essential nutrients and gases like methane and hydrogen. This process also plays a role in the absorption of water and electrolytes.
True or false most absorption occurs in the large intestine?
False. Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, but not significant amounts of nutrients.
What even occurs in the large intestine?
Water from food is absorbed by the body
Why is the large intestine called 'large'?
Length of the large intestine is only 50 inches. The length of the small intestine is about 20 feet. Still the former is called as large intestine. It is because the diameter of the intestine is very large as compared to small intestine.
What event occurs in the large intestine?
The large intestine goes into a more deeper form of digestion and removes water and other moisture from the waste. The large intestine prepare the toxins for excretions.
Why Digestion does not occur in large intestine?
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.
