It absorbs all the calcium.
In the colon, the major process that takes place is the reabsorption of water
Small intestine
the large intestine
the small intestine takes all the good nutrients and if there are bad ones it takes it to the large intestine
The large intestine, no digestion takes place there. The large intestine passes along the waste product and it exits through the anus.
chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine large intestine,mouth and stomach. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and minerals in the large intestine.
Water absorption takes place in both the small and large intestine's. Around 90% of water absorption takes place in the small intestines, equally between all three sections. The remainder of the water absorption to produce "formed" faeces takes place in the large intestines.
Trust me!! This was on my science test!! I hope it helped!~
Several reactions occur in the large intestine. Basically, the large intestine is the place where the remaining water from our food waste gets absorbed and through bacterial mechanisms the waste is reduced and compacted to prepare it for evacuation thru the anus.
some of the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. microbes help in the digestion process,like ecoli
The small intestine is in the gastrointestinal tract after the stomach. It is followed by the large intestine. A lot of the digestion and absorption of food takes place here.
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.
