Solution
The correct answer is (Choice A) Cells in the stomach and large intestine have different, specialized structures and functions.
This is because the cells in different parts of the digestive system are specialized to perform specific functions. For example, cells in the stomach produce acid and enzymes to break down food, while cells in the large intestine absorb water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter. Therefore, these cells have different structures to suit their specific functions.
