Question
after traveling through the large intestine, what is left of the food that was originally ingested?
a rolled ball of undigested food
insoluble fibers, waste, and water
chunks of meat and vegetables
highly nutritious pieces of food
The large intestine absorbs most remaining water from digested food, while nutrients and digestible components are already processed in the small intestine. What remains are indigestible insoluble fibers, metabolic waste, and residual water, which form fecal matter. The other options are incorrect: a rolled ball of undigested food (bolus) is present at the start of digestion, chunks of food would have been broken down earlier, and nutritious pieces would have been absorbed in the small intestine.
