The absorption and distribution of materials within an organism is a life function known as

Transport

Explanation:

Living organisms are characterized by essential day-to-day activities which they undergo to sustain their life. One of these life processes is called TRANSPORT, which involves the circulation and absorption of nutrients.

Transportation is a life process where substances synthesized or absorbed in one part of the body are carried to other parts of the body. This life process is important in plant and animals as it leads to movement of nutrient, water, mineral, gases etc. In humans, circulatory system is responsible for this process of transportation.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
