1. Soluble- which slows which slows the
movement of food through the alimentary
canal.

food through the alimentary canal

4. Ruffage is very important
As it accelerates the metabolic
reactions, as they are not digestible by
humans it passes in bulk and caries other
food products and they also clean
intestine by scrapping out the undigested
foods from the walls of the intestine.
