BODY SYSTEMS

Since a growing seed cannot carry out photosynthesis, it is packaged with nutrients. Which two plant systems must interact to create nutrient-rich seeds?

• Reproductive system and transport system

• Excretory system and digestive system

• Root system and dermal tissue system

• Immune system and vascular tissue system

Plants live in hot and dry conditions produce a thick, waxy cuticle and close their stomata to prevent water loss. Which system is not directly affected by this plant action?

• Dermal tissue system

• Reproductive system

• Shoot system

• Response system

White blood cells come into contact with few microscopic parasites. This is because as white blood cells attack harmful bacteria and viruses, they are shielded by another extensive body system. this system is the -

• digestive system

• nervous system

• skeletal system

• integumentary system

• the production of insulin to control sugar levels

• eyes squinting or dilating in response to light

• producing sweat in response to sensing high temperature

• goosebumps produced in response to cold temperature

Which molecule synthesized by plants is a major source of energy for cellular processes in both plants and animals?

• wax

• nucleic acids

• glucose

• chlorophyll

Recent studies in bone research indicate that using ultrasound on a broken bone can decrease the healing time by 25%. Which of these are the most basic levels of organization involved when a bone heals?

Which two body systems must directly interact for vertebrate organisms to exchange gases?

• Skeletal system and muscular system

• Excretory system and reproductive

• Circulatory system and respiratory system

• Digestive enzyme and immune system

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both involve the use and release of gases. Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
