Best Answer: Most of the digestion and all of the absorption(Except water) takes part in the Small Intestine... Water is absorbed in the Large intestine... Other places of digestion include, the mouth(Carbohydrates, by Amylase enzymes) and stomach(Proteins by Pepsin enzymes).Hope this helps :) !mall intestine.
