Ammonia is formed during digestion in:
Correct answer: D. Large intestine
- A. Liver
- B. Stomach
- C. Small intestine
- D. Large intestine
Explanation
Ammonia is formed during digestion in the large intestine, specifically the colon, through bacterial fermentation. This process occurs as a result of the breakdown of undigested food residues and metabolic waste, leading to the formation of ammonia. The other options - liver, stomach, and small intestine - do not play a role in the formation of ammonia during digestion.
