Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Hepatopancreas is a large, bilobed, glandular mass lying below gonads in Palaemon.
Hepatopancreas combines in itself the function of pancreas and liver of higher animal.
Functioning as a pancreas, it secretes digestive enzymes which can digest carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
As midgut, it absorbs the digested food material, and as liver it serves as an important storage organ for glycogen and fat. Calcium is not stored in the liver.
