Respuesta :

D. Only one direction

Answer:

The incorrect statement is option D. Digestive tracts have two openings, which allows food to move in two directions.

Explanation:

The digestive system is a long twisted tube from the mouth to the anus with a series of accessory organs connected to it. This long twisted continuous tube having two openings, mouth and the anus, called the digestive tract that allows food to move in one direction only (mouth to anus).

In the digestive tract, food enters from the mouth and food passing through pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The indigestible food or waste eliminated through the anus.

So, the digestive tract allows food to move in one direction only.

Thus, incorrect option would be option D.
