The large intestine does not perform any digestion whatsoever. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it only performs mainly absorption, as in water, some minerals, and some vitamins.
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
Bacteria are found in the large intestine (strictly speaking, bacteria are found everywhere, but there are a particularly large number of them in the large intestine).
The large intestines main jobs are to absorb excess water and and particular vitamins back into the body, process undigested matter such as fiber and store waste before it is eliminated...
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.

As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
Chewing is mechanical digestion.
small intestine
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
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.
The large intestine absorbs water, and the small intestine uses small finger like things called villi take the nutrients and take it through the small intestine's wall throughout your body. Both have chemical digestion and small intestion has mechanical digestion.
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.
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
the major part of the chemical digestion is the HCL (hydro chloric acid)
The mechanical digestion processes in the large intestine is commonly referred to as peristalsis. The colon is the last stop in the digestive system and this where liquids are extracted from non-nutritive food waste before excretion.
