Correct answers: liver and pancreas.

Explanation: The liver and pancreas produce substances (bile, digestive enzymes) that chemically break down food but do not perform mechanical actions. The mouth, stomach, and small intestine all perform mechanical digestion (chewing, churning, mixing/segmentation) in addition to chemical digestion.
