2. b) the intestines ← key
3. c) the liver

Topic 30 · The food organs · Type 5 · tests LIF5-052

MediumMCQType 5 — where the useful parts go; what happens to the parts the body cannot use; how the useful parts reach the fingertips; what they pass through; which part the intestines take; where the liver's juice acts; which food needs it most; what the liver does to the blood; the liver's other job; where the pancreas's juices meet the food and when

Which of these foods needs the liver's juice the most?

1. a) fried shrimp ← key
2. b) a cucumber
3. c) an orange
4. d) a pickle

Why it is this type: The liver makes a juice that helps break down fatty food. Fried food has a lot of fat in it, and a cucumber, an orange and a pickle have almost none. So the fried shrimp needs the liver's juice the most.
