helpful to digestion
Indigestible material is primarily found in the large intestine, where it is passed through the digestive system as waste. The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water from the digested food and forming feces, which is then eliminated from the body.
The large intestine, or colon, absorbs water from indigestible materials. As food passes through the digestive tract, the colon reabsorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining waste, helping to form solid stool. This process is crucial for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance in the body.
Indigestible material in the small intestine is moved to the large intestine for further processing. It passes through the digestive system and eventually exits the body as waste. The small intestine absorbs nutrients from the digested food and liquids before passing on the indigestible material.
as an example: fiber, chitin
Amoeba digests food through a process called phagocytosis. It engulfs food particles by extending its pseudopodia to form a food vacuole, which encloses the ingested material. Enzymes are then secreted into the vacuole to break down the food into smaller molecules. The nutrients are absorbed into the amoeba's cytoplasm, while indigestible waste is expelled from the cell.

dietary fibre
an indigestible cell wall of plant cell that animals take in as food.
The indigestible material goes to the excretory organs such as the kidneys and large intestines where it is reabsorbed and the waste eliminated from the body.
Cellulose is present in the grass which is indigestible. if the grass is made digestible in human system the food scarcity will definitely be over.
The large intestine
proteins, carbohydrates and fats, (fiber is a carbohydrate that is indigestible, typically cellulose)
The fibre commonly found in food is generally the indigestible part of plants.These parts are made of Cellulose.
Owls produce pellets, which are indigestible parts of their food like bones, fur, and feathers that they regurgitate. These pellets help owls digest their food better by removing the indigestible parts. The pellets can be dissected to study an owl's diet and the types of animals it preys on.
Poop, or feces, is composed of indigestible food waste, enteric bacteria, and water.
Indigestible material is primarily found in the large intestine, where it is passed through the digestive system as waste. The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water from the digested food and forming feces, which is then eliminated from the body.
It is important to know what is being eaten. Roughage is indigestible material in vegetables, that helps the gut pass food and waste.
