answered 27 Mar 2026The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretion of two glands: liver and pancreas. The liver secretes a greenish-yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into the bloodstream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out through opening J as feces in the process known as K. (a) Name the organ A. (b) Name (i) liquid B, and (ii) organ C. (c) What are the digestive enzymes D, E and F? (d) Name the projections G present on the inner wall of organ A. (e) Name (i) tube H (ii) part I (iii) opening J, and (iv) process K.
A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
- The organ A is small
- (i) Liquid B is bile and (ii) organ C is gall
- The digestive enzymes D, E, and F are amylase, trypsin, and lipase,
- The projections G are villi that are present on the inner wall of organ
- (i) Tube H is the large intestine, (ii) part I is the rectum, (iii) opening J is the anus and (iv) the process K is egestion or defecation.
