Answers
Answer:
(a) Absorption of food is in small intestine
(b) Formation of faeces is in large intestine
(c) killing of bacteria is in stomach
Answer:
(i) Absorption of food in small intestine.
Small Intestine is a thin and long tube-like structure measuring about 9 to 10 feet long and also the part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The small intestine is located just behind the stomach, which is found completely coiled and consists of folds and ridges.
(iii) The killing of bacteria in stomach
It serves as a muscular bag situated towards the left side of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm. This vital organ acts as a storage for the food and provides enough time to digest meals. The stomach also produces digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid that maintains digestion and kills the bacteria.
(v) formation of faeces in large intestine.
This is a thick, long tube measuring around 5 feet in length. It is present just beneath the stomach and wraps over the superior and lateral edges of the small intestine. It absorbs water and consists of bacteria (symbiotic) that support the breakdown of wastes to fetch small nutrients.
