Question

in which organ does most absorption take place?
select one
a. small intestine
b. large intestine
c. liver
d. gallbladder
e. stomach

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the digestive system, the small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption. It has a large surface area (due to villi and microvilli) and is where most digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals occur. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, the liver processes nutrients, the gallbladder stores bile, and the stomach mainly digests proteins and absorbs some substances like alcohol. So the correct answer is the small intestine.

Answer:

A. Small intestine
