• B. Cooking of food
• C. Nutrient requirement

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cooking of food

The process of nutrition in animals involves the following steps:

1. Ingestion: The process of taking in food.
2. Digestion: the process, the larger food particles are broken down into smaller, water-soluble particles. There are physical or chemicals for digesting food.
3. Absorption: The digested food is absorbed in the bloodstream through the intestinal wall.
4. Assimilation: The absorbed food is used for energy, growth and repair of the cells of the body.
5. Egestion: The undigested food is removed from the body in the faeces. This process is known as egestion.

Whereas, cooking of food is not included in animal nutrition. Food is cooked on flame outside the body of the animal.

So, the correct answer is option B.
