Answer 1

the correct answer is: "They ingest their food."

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement about animals that is incorrect is: "They ingest their food." Animals have diverse feeding strategies, and while most animals ingest their food, there are exceptions. For example, some animals, like sponges, filter-feed by extracting food particles from water, and they do not actively ingest their food. Therefore, the correct answer is: "They ingest their food."
