Review Day 2: Body Systems & Plants

The body sometimes needs to send messages long distances by releasing hormones into the bloodstream. The hormones are then carried to the target location.

Which body systems are involved in this interaction? Fill in the blanks:

The __________ system releases hormones into the bloodstream, and the _______ system carries them to the target location.

• digestive, circulatory

• endocrine, respiratory

• endocrine, circulatory

• immune, circulatory

Biting flies can transmit disease and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing.

Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?

• The nervous system senses the biting flies and sends signals to the muscular system to move.

• The circulatory system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the nervous system to move.

• The muscular system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the integumentary system to move.

• The integumentary system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the circulatory system to move.

Which plant response would best aid a plant in maximizing and retaining water acquired during a drought?

• Decreasing root growth, while increasing stem and leaf growth

• Increasing root, stem, and leaf growth

• Decreasing stem and leaf growth, while increasing root growth

• Increasing leaf and root growth, while decreasing stem growth

Roots of different plants can be connected by a network of underground fungal extensions called hyphae. These fungi contribute minerals to the plants, and the plants contribute carbohydrates to the fungi.

Which statement about the transportation of these substances within the plant is true?

• The minerals are transported from the phloem to the xylem in the shoot system.

• The carbohydrates are transported from the shoot system to the fungi by the xylem.

• The minerals are transported from the xylem to the phloem in the roots.

• The carbohydrates are transported to the fungi through the phloem
