What happens mostly in the large intestine (colon)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large intestine (colon) primarily absorbs water from the digestive waste material as it moves through. This allows for the waste to form into solid feces before being eliminated from the body. While some vitamins and minerals can be absorbed in the large intestine, the majority are absorbed in the small intestine. Amino acids and glucose are also absorbed in the small intestine, while fiber cannot be absorbed by the body and passes through the digestive system mostly intact.
