Ingestion is the active, voluntary process of placing food into the mouth. Propulsion involves all of the actions involved in moving food along the alimentary canal from the mouth to the anus, including swallowing, peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements. Mechanical digestion involves all of the activities that break food down into smaller pieces to prepare them for further degradation by enzymes. Chemical digesting, the next step of food breakdown, involves the sequence of steps by which large food molecules are broken down to their building blocks by enzymes. Absorption is the mechanism by which digested end products are moved from the lumen of the GI tract into the blood or lymph. The ²nal process is defecation, which is the elimination of indigestible substances from the body via the anus as feces

baherus [9]

Answer:

The option D is incorrect.

Explanation:

It is not necessary that the substance needs to get filtered out of the glomerulus to be present within the urine. Some of the substances may be present in the urine due to the secretion in the renal tubules post the filtration process in the glomerulus.  

Like in the proximal tubule of the nephron, secretion results in the transport of some of the molecules out of the blood and within the urine. These secreted substances can be hydrogen ions, potassium ions, creatinine ions, and some kinds of waste components like drugs.  

The conduction of substances from peritubular capillaries to the renal tubular lumen is termed as tubular secretion, and the process generally takes place by passive diffusion and active transport.

Hi there!

Australian rabbits are an invasive species. They reproduce quickly and eat crops, especially root vegetables, cabbage, etc.

Because of this, humans are effected because they destroy our food.

Also, there's pressure on the local predators to kill them all, and they can quickly outnumber them.

As much as they may be cute, they damage the ecosystem that way!

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one! :)

What would happen to the nutrients in an ecosystem if decomposers, such as bacteria, didn’t exist there?
Brut [27]
Nutrients would not be recycled. Thus the cycle could not continue and the soil does not contain nutrients. which means plants cannot grow and animals wont have plants to eat and their predators will have no food to eat.
