Answer:

The correct answer would be B. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination.

Digestion refers to the breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements.

The process of the digestive system can be sequenced as:

  1. Ingestion: Intake of food from outside the body. For example, in humans, food is taken in from a mouth.
  2. Digestion: The breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements. For example, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and fats are converted into monosaccharides, amino acids, and fatty acid chains and glycerol respectively.
  3. Absorption: The digested food is absorbed and transported to all parts of the body. In humans, the small intestine is the major site of food absorption.
  4. Assimilation: The nutrients are transported or distributed to all cells of the body where they are utilized for power generation.
  5. Excretion: The undigested food is then excreted out of the body. In humans, the solid waste is excreted through the anus.

The combined observations of Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann and Rudolph
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The option 'All cells contain a nucleus' is not a part of the cell theory.

Explanation:

The cell theory proposed by scientists illustrates that every organism whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic is made up of a cell or different kinds of cells. It also that explains that cells are made from living things. According to the cell theory, cells are termed as the basic unit of life, without which life is not possible.

The cell theory does not claim that every cell must have a nucleus because many cells like cells of prokaryotes lack nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.
