Answer:

The correct answer is: synthesize vitamin K and B-complex vitamins.

Explanation:

The large intestine, an important region of the gastrointestinal tract, is populated with bacteria that maintain our bodies healthy. The term used to describe these organisms that live in the digestive tract is gut microbiota.

The relationship between humans and the gut microbiota is not only non-harmful but also beneficial to humans. <u>Bacteria ferment dietary fibers into </u><u>short-chain fatty acids</u><u> for us to absorb it</u>. Gut microbiota also plays a crucial role in synthesizing vitamin B and vitamin K, as well as metabolizing <u>sterols and bile acids</u>. These bacteria act much like an endocrine system that regulates intestinal function with the use of short-chain fatty acids, as if they were hormones.

<u>Vitamin K</u><u> is important for</u><u> blood clotting</u><u>, while </u><u>vitamin B</u><u> intervenes in </u><u>cellular metabolism</u>.

The food bolus will then get digested in the stomach.

Specifically, only protein is chemically digested into short polypeptides under the enzyme pepsin. The gastric juice that contains pepsin is produced by the gastric glands. The stomach is very acidic. It has a pH value of around 2. This is because it has to make sure that only pepsin is functional and so as because hydrochloric acid is present. 

Polypeptides are not yet the final form of protein, amino acids are. But the process of breaking down polypeptides into amino acid is yet to be done at this stage, so as the other digestion of e.g. carbohydrates or fat. They'll mostly be done in the duodenum, which is the next stage after the stomach.
