What is the function of the circulatory system in the human body?

• The function of the circulatory system is to digest food

• The function of the circulatory system is to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells throughout the body and remove waste products.

• The function of the circulatory system is to produce red blood cells

• The function of the circulatory system is to regulate body temperature

Describe the process of photosynthesis.

• Photosynthesis is the process of animals converting sunlight into energy

• Photosynthesis is the process of producing carbon dioxide from sunlight

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water.

• Photosynthesis is the process of plants converting water into oxygen

What are the different types of ecological relationships?

• Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, and predation

• Predation, herbivory, parasitism, symbiosis

• Carnivory, herbivory, omnivory, scavenging

• Symbiosis, cooperation, predation, symbiont

Explain the process of protein synthesis in a cell.

• Protein synthesis is the process by which cells make carbohydrates.

• Protein synthesis is not a process that occurs in cells.

• Protein synthesis involves only one stage: translation.

• Protein synthesis is the process by which cells make proteins. It involves two main stages: transcription and translation.
