Answer 1

The two organs in the digestive system that are involved only in the chemical digestion of food are:

1. Liver
2. Pancreas

The liver produces bile, which helps in the emulsification of fats, while the pancreas produces enzymes that further digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats chemically. Other organs mentioned, like the stomach and mouth, also contribute to mechanical digestion.
