Question
the absorbs most of the water from food and some vitamins and minerals. small intestine large intestine stomach
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall the functions of each organ:
- The small intestine is mainly for digesting and absorbing nutrients (like sugars, proteins, fats).
- The large intestine's main function is to absorb water, electrolytes, and some vitamins from the remaining indigestible food matter.
- The stomach is for breaking down food with acid and enzymes, not mainly for water absorption.
So the organ that absorbs most water from food and some vitamins/minerals is the large intestine.
