Answer and Explanation:

  • Ingestion of foods and liquids
  • Mechanical processing of food materials and liquids
  • Warming the body with heat released from the digestive organs as they process food.

Digestion is the breakdown of food substances by enzymes to simpler compounds that can be absorbed. Digestion begins in the mouth. Once food is ingested in the mouth, it is chewed and broken into small particles suitable for swallowing. Mechanical procesing of food is through the wave-like contractions of the muscular walls of the alimentary canal called peristalsis. Churn and pound food mixing it with digestive enzymes.

After digestion, absorption and assimilation, the final product is oxidized to provide energy to the body.

Compare and contrast the circulatory system of plants and animals.
Nata [24]
Well, plants have a vascular system whereas animals have a circulatory system. They both utilize tube structures that transport water and nutrients to the cells and different parts of the organism. Plants have xylem and phloem and animals have veins and arteries. An animal's circulatory system is driven by a pump, via the heart. A plant's vascular system is driven simply by gravity and the many useful properties of water. Plants have water-based solutions within their vascular systems and animals have mainly white and red blood cells within their circulatory systems.
