The large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining undigested food, forming feces.Rate this question:

Glands in your mouth produce ______.

Villi

Spit

Blood

Saliva
Correct Answer(s)
A. Spit
A. SalivaExplanation
The correct answer is saliva. Saliva is produced by the glands in your mouth. It helps in the process of digestion by moistening food, making it easier to swallow. Saliva also contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of carbohydrates in the food. Spit is another term for saliva, so both options are correct. Villi are small finger-like projections in the small intestine that aid in nutrient absorption, while blood is a fluid connective tissue that carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.Rate this question:
