Plant & Animal Systems Review Part 1

What two human systems work together to provide body cells with a constant supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide waste products?

• Nervous and endocrine
• Muscular and skeletal
• Respiratory and circulatory
• Excretory and integumentary

Which correctly describes an interaction between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?

• The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction.
• The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients.
• The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
• The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries.

• The roots absorb water and minerals and move them up to the stem, while the stem moves food produced in the leaves down to the roots in tiny tubes.
• The roots anchor the plant in the soil, and the stem holds the leaves up.
• The roots absorb their own water and minerals, while the stem absorbs its water and minerals through the leaves.
• The roots lose water vapor to the soil, and the stem loses water vapor through the leaves.

Leaves are part of a plant's shoot system. The xylem tissue in leaves transports -- 

• the bacteria needed for nitrogen fixation in root nodules
• the wax required to coat the surface of actively growing tissue
• the water and minerals that are absorbed by the roots
• the oxygen that regulates the rate of carbohydrate production

Which of the following is the correct order of organization in living things from most basic (simple) to most complex?

• a.  Organism, cell, tissue, organ, organ system
• a.  Organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organism
• a.  Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
• a.  Cell, organ, tissue, organ, organism, organ system
