Answer:

The mouth is the organ involved in ingestion in the digestive system.

Explanation:

Intake of food into the mouth and break down into small pieces there, is the process of the ingestion. In the ingestion process food is taken into the mouth and crushed and broken down into smaller pieces with the help of teeth. The presence of food triggers nervous reflexes to cause the salivary glands to release a fluid saliva. Saliva also softens and provides moisture to the food in the mouth to make it easier to swallow down to esophagus. It helps in digestion of starches to begin, present in food.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

A fungal cell is an eukaryote with all intracellular, membrane bound organelles. A bacterial cell is basically a prokaryote with a nucleoid. The cell wall composition also varies. It is a lipopolysaccharide layer called peptidoglycan layer in bacteria whereas cell wall of a fungal cell contains complex polysaccharides called chitin and glucans. Bacteria are either autotrophic or heterotrophic whereas fungi are strictly heterotrophic. Bacteria reproduces asexually by binary fission whereas fungi can reproduce either by sexual or by asexual method. Dormant form of fungal cell are called conidiospore or basidiospore or zoospore or ascospore based on their location in hyphae and type of reproduction. In bacteria, dormant forms are called endospores.
