Answer:
C. Compaction
Explanation:
Chyme enters from the small intestine into the large intestine. In the large intestine, chyme becomes solid or semisolid as the water is absorbed from it. Absorption of excess water from chyme to convert it into the feces in the large intestine is called compaction. Feces consist of water, inorganic salts, unabsorbed digested materials, and indigestible parts of food. During compaction, enough water is absorbed and this makes large intestine one of the important organs in maintaining the body’s water balance.
Answer: The correct answer is -
D) in a host, it is capable of reproduction.
Explanation:
Virus can be described as a microscopic, infective, non living agent that typically possesses genetic material (DNA or RNA) that is surrounded by a proteinaceous coat (capsid).
It can not replicate by its own and thus it uses host machinery for replication. In other words, it multiplies within host organism. This is the reason that it can be called as living.
Thus, option D) is the right answer.
Taking all of them out of their natural environments would disrupt the ecosystem and food chains, and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to place more than a small portion of Earth's endangered species in these facilities.
