​

Answer 1

Answer:

incisors help in cutting and biting food

canines help in tearing food parts

molars and premolars help to chew and help to convert food into paste

herbivores need to chew hard plants most of the time they have well developed molars and premolars

Answer 2

Answer:

The permanent teeth contain four incisors on the upper jaw and four incisors on the lower jaw. The eight incisors have the primary function of biting food as a result of their sharpness. The canines are the next to develop after the canines. They are sharper than the canine and meant for ripping and tearing food.
