Answer 1

c, d, c, b, c

Answer 2

The correct optios are: digestion (c), eliminated from the body as wastes (d), epiglotis (b), esophagus (b), liver (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

We called digestion to the process by which particles composing food are break in small particles that can be absorbed into blood. Some structures can be digested and absorbed but other ones (such as cellulose for example) can not and are eliminated from the body as wastes.

Epiglotis is a cartilaginous structure that separates respiratoty system from digestive system, avoiding the passage of food to respiratory sytem.

Esophagus is a muscular tube that constitutes the conection between pharynx and stomach.

Liver is an important organ that segregates bilis (between other functions) which is esential for digestion of fat. Bilis can be stored in gall bladder after its production in liver.
