1.	why is small intestine called the site of complete digestion?
Answer» Small intestine is called the site of complete digestion becausr all the substances ( fats, protiens and carbohydrates) are converted into tgeir most simple forms. Fats are converted into fatty acids and glycerol by lipase. Protiens are converted into amino acids by aminopeptidases. 70% of leftover starch is converted into maltose. The small intestine is the longest part of the alimentary canal. Enzymes present in the intestine completely digest the partially digested food. Small intestine is called as site for complete digestion as the process of digestion is completed here and the food is completely broken down into its respective constituents. Because in small intestine complete digestion occurs that is fats gets converter into fatty acid or glycerol, proteins gets converted into amino acids and starch gets converted into carbohydrates. Sorry water is not digested ther is absorption of water from undigested food in large intestine. Because digestion of all food take place in small intestine.Only water is digested in large intestine
