Question

where does most of the nutrient absorption occur in the digestive system?

• 2 points

large intestine
stomach
small intestine
esophagus

Explanation:

In the digestive system, the small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption. The large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes. The stomach is for digestion (like breaking down food with acid and enzymes) and the esophagus is just a tube for food to pass to the stomach, with no nutrient absorption. So the correct answer should be the small intestine.

Answer:

C. Small intestine
