Complete digestion takes place in which part of cockroach?

  1. In crop

  2. In Gizzard

  3. In stomach

  4. In oesophagous


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cockroaches belong to phylum Arthropoda which has well developed the digestive system. The digestion of starch in the buccal cavity is followed by complete grinding of food in crop and gizzard which finally enters the stomach. The digestive enzymes secreted by the gastric caeca act upon the food in the stomach. These enzymes include amylase, maltase, invertase, tryptase and lipase. The remaining carbohydrates, proteins and fats are digested here.The digested food is absorbed through the stomach walls into the surrounding space which is called the haemocoel. The haemocoel consists of a large number of fat bodies which are fat cells having fat globules, protein granules and glycogen. They form storage structures which transport to different parts of the body. So, the correct answer is option C.
