The colon is responsible for processing chyme to remove water and electrolytes, leaving waste products of digestion. The other structures listed do not have this specific function. The appendix is involved in immune function, the duodenum is where most digestion and absorption occur, and the ileum and jejunum are responsible for further absorption of nutrients.
