The digestive system actually consists of digestive tract and Digestive glands. The processes that are associated with digestive system is - ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.

Define population. How is a population different from a community
icang [17]
A population is all the organisms of the same species in a group, like humans. Population is different from a community in that a population is every organism of the species grouped as a whole, and a community is a certain number of organisms within the whole population. That may not make sense, but that’s as good as I can describe it.
