When a person puts food in his mouth, teeth cut it into small pieces, chew, and grind it. Glands $A$ in the mouth secrete a substance $B$ which is mixed with the food by the tongue. Substance $B$ contains an enzyme $C$ which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube $D$. The special type of movements $E$ in the walls of tube $D$ push the food into the stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substances $F$, $G$, and $H$. One of the functions of $F$ is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. Substance $G$ protects the inner lining of the stomach from the damaging effect of substance $F$, whereas substance $H$ is an enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters the small intestine for further digestion.

View SolutionThe organisms $A$, $B$ and $C$ can obtain their food in three different ways. Organism $A$ derives its food from the body of another living organism which is called its $D$, without killing it. The organism $B$ takes in solid food by the process of ingestion, digests a part of this food and throws out undigested food in the process called $E$. The organism $C$ obtains its food from dead and decaying plants.
