Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
All heterotrophs (organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on other organisms for nutrition) do follow a similar basic process of nutrition. This process typically involves ingestion (taking in food), digestion (breaking down food into simpler molecules), absorption (absorbing nutrients into the body), and assimilation (using those nutrients for growth and energy). However, the specific mechanisms and types of food consumed may vary among different heterotrophs.

What is the name of the opening in the human body through which undigested food is thrown out?
| The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretion of two glands : liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish-yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out though opening J as faeces in the process known as K. |
