The large intestine primarily functions to absorb water and electrolytes from indigestible food matter, transforming it into solid waste. It also plays a role in fermenting unabsorbed material through bacterial action, which can produce gases and certain vitamins. Ultimately, the large intestine stores fecal matter until it is excreted from the body, completing the digestive process.

What is the function of fronds?
It is a large leaf containing many divisions.
What happens to the output when the function's input value is divided by 3 In the inverse variation function?
The output is three times as large.
A function has vertical asymptotes at x-values for which it is and near which the function's values become very positive or negative numbers?
Undefined; large
What is the function of tureen?
A tureen is a large, deep, covered dish from which to serve soup at a dinner table.
Does a linear function increase faster than an exponential function?
No, a linear function does not increase faster than an exponential function. While linear functions grow at a constant rate, exponential functions grow at an increasing rate, meaning that as the input value increases, the output of the exponential function will eventually surpass that of the linear function. For sufficiently large values of the input, the exponential function will outpace the linear function significantly.
What is the principal function of mechanical digestion?
breakdown of large molecules to smaller ones by the addition of water
A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called?
A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called a vacuole. This in additional function in eukaryotic organisms called protists.
What is as no function in humans in the digestive system?
The appendix, found at the junction of the small and large intestines, has no known function in digestion. The appendix may also be called the vermiform appendix.
How is the function of the small intestine different from the function of the large intestine?
The stomach and small intestine both help with digestion. However, the stomach breaks down the food with acids and is mostly a large cavity, while the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and is a long winding path.
Is a large intestine a mechanical digestion?
Chewing is mechanical digestion.
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
Is the large Intestine a mechanical or a chemical digestion?
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
What are the function of the small and large intestins?
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver
Why Digestion does not occur in large intestine?
Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.
Where does digestion end?
The large intestines is where the final step of digestion takes place.
Where digestion end?
The large intestines is where the final step of digestion takes place.
Explain the test that allows us to determine whether a graph is that of a function?
The vertical line test: Imagine a very large family of vertical lines. If any of the lines intersect with the graph of the relation under consideration at more than a single point then the relation is not a function. (Because a function assigns just one value in the range to a given point in the domain.)
