Where does esophagus open in the alimentary canal of earthworm?
Correct answer: B. intestine
- A. Buccal chamber
- B. intestine
- C. rectum
- D. intestinal caccum
Explanation
In earthworms, the esophagus connects the pharynx to the crop and then continues to the gizzard. The gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds the food into smaller particles before it enters the intestine, where digestion and absorption take place.The correct answer is Option B: intestine. The esophagus in an earthworm does not open directly into the intestine, but it connects the pharynx to the crop where food is temporarily stored. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the location where the esophagus opens in the earthworm's alimentary canal.
