2. absrorption of vitamin K and some B vitamins
(NOT the formation of feces or secretion of digestive enzymes)

Answer 1

Water and electrolyte absorption occurs in the small intestine, while the large intestine absorbs vitamins and maintains the epithelium of the large intestine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absorption of water and electrolytes occurs primarily in the small intestine. Almost all ingested food, 80 percent of electrolytes, and 90 percent of water are absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine plays a role in the absorption of vitamins produced by bacteria and the maintenance of the epithelium of the large intestine.
