I think it’s 1, because the liver plays an important role in the metabolism of proteins. Liver cells change amino acids in foods so they can be used to produce energy

Step-by-step explanation:

It will affect the digestion of fatty foods, (3)., Because the function of the liver produces bile. Bile helps to break down fatty foods, if the liver cannot produce bile, the f.food will accumulate causing "fatty liver disease" & type 2 diabetes.
