Question

Most of the digestion and absorption of the food takes place in

• A. Stomach
• B. Liver
• C. Small intestine
• D. Large intestine

Answer 1

The correct option is C Small intestine

• Most of the digestion and absorption of the food takes place in the small intestine because it is the main organ of absorption and digestion of food.
• The surface area of the small intestine gets increased for absorption due to the presence of villi which gives food plenty of time to break down properly. Hence, the longest part of the alimentary canal is a small intestine.

So, the correct answer is 'Small intestine'.
