The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the organ in a cockroach that is responsible for breaking down food particles, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understand the options:** - **A. Crop**: The crop is part of the digestive system but primarily serves as a storage area for food, not for breaking it down. - **B. Gizzard**: The gizzard is known for its role in grinding and breaking down food particles, similar to the function of teeth in mammals. - **C. Hepatic Ceca**: These are involved in digestion as they secrete digestive juices, but they do not physically break down food. - **D. Malpighian Tubules**: These are excretory structures in cockroaches and are not involved in digestion. 2. **Identify the correct organ:** - The gizzard is specifically designed for the mechanical breakdown of food particles in insects, including cockroaches. It acts as a grinding organ, which is essential for digestion. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the organ responsible for breaking down food particles in a cockroach is the **Gizzard**. Thus, the answer to the question is **B. Gizzard**.
