The kidneys have the important job of filtering the blood to remove wastes.
The correct answer is: filtering the blood to remove wastes.
To arrive at this answer, we can use deductive reasoning and some basic knowledge of human anatomy.
We know that the kidneys are involved in the excretory system, which is responsible for removing waste products from the body. We also know that the kidneys receive blood from the circulatory system, indicating that they have some role in filtering the blood.
By process of elimination, we can rule out options that are not directly related to waste removal or blood filtration. The options "reabsorbing water into the bloodstream" and "breaking down food mechanically" do not align with the kidneys' function of waste removal. Similarly, "producing bile to help digest fats" is a function of the liver, not the kidneys.
Therefore, the correct answer is "filtering the blood to remove wastes."
