Answer 1

i’d be eaten bc i’m food

Answer 2

1. I will be broken down in the mouth

Teeth will tear the food and saliva is slightly acidic so it will also break me down

2. I will then travel down the esophagus into the stomach

The acid will break the food down even more

3. After that, I will go into the large intestine and then the small intestine

Where nutrients will be extracted, and I will be starting to become waste

4. Then solid waste will go to out as feces, and liquid waste will go to bladder and also leave the body
