Food for the developing fetus is supplied by the – (1) Uterus (2) Placenta (3) Ovary (4) Allantosis

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Placenta Explanation: The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and has exchange via the mother's blood supply. It allows the transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the fetus and the transfer of waste products and carbon dioxide back from the fetus to the maternal blood supply. Nutrient transfer to the fetus occurs via both active and passive transport.
