Solution

Humans:

  1. Humans are vertebrates that belong to the Hominidae family.
  2. Holozoic nutrition is a type of heterotrophic nutrition which is characterized by ingestion and internal processing of solid or liquid food particles.
  3. Holozoic nutrition comprises five steps-
    1. Ingestion (intake of food),
    2. Digestion (break down of complex molecules),
    3. Absorption (absorption of digested food),
    4. Assimilation (utilization of absorbed food), and
    5. Egestion (removal of undigested food).
