Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secretion involves the production and release of specialized substances to support body functions.

Note: Excretion refers to the removal of waste products, digestion to the breakdown of food, and absorption to the uptake of nutrients. Circulation, respiration, responsiveness, and conductivity are also characteristics of life, but do not involve the production and release of specialized substances. Reproduction involves the creation of new individuals, not necessarily the production of substances.
