Question

the life function of transport in an organism directly involves those activities used to
1 absorb and distribute materials
2 obtain and hydrolyze materials
3 release energy from food
4 produce cellular waste products

Explanation:

Transport in an organism is about moving substances. Absorbing (like nutrients in gut) and distributing (via circulatory system) are key transport - related activities. Obtaining materials (e.g., eating) is ingestion (not transport), hydrolyzing is digestion. Releasing energy from food is respiration. Producing waste is excretion.

Answer:

1. absorb and distribute materials
