Digestion and absorption of nutrients will not take place.

Explanation:

  • The small intestine is the part of the digestive system in humans. It is the organ of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • It is the site where maximum digestion and absorption of food takes place.
  • It lies in between the stomach and the large intestine. It receives the pancreatic and bile juices that aid in the digestion process.
  • The size of the large intestine is about 6.7-7.6 meters. The structure is long, and highly convoluted.
  • The length, diameter, and highly coiled nature of the small intestine allow it to digest and absorb the nutrients in food.

Thus if the small intestine is not in the form of long coiled tube then digestion and absorption of nutrients will not take place.
