Two or more types of muscle tissues working together make an organ.
Two or more types of organs working together make a cell.
Two or more types of organ systems working togther make a tissue.
Two or more types of muscle tissues working together make a cell.
The organ system will generate more cells to create a new organ to replace the diseased component.
The organ will fail to function properly, affecting the organ system and consequently the organism.
The cells will bypass creating tissues, creating the organ directly to limit the spread of the disease to the organism.
The organ will temporarily shut down until the disease is repaired with the replication of new cells.
The human body has many levels of organization. Which diagram shows the correct order of these levels?
cell
organ
system
tissue
digestive system
excretory system
nervous system
respiratory system
How does the muscular system help the respiratory system?
It monitors and controls the breathing rate.
It helps absorb carbon dioxide supplied by the blood.
It moistens and warms the air taken in from the nose.
It helps in the movement of organs invovled in breathing.
Malaria is caused by a protist that spreads through a mosquito bite. The parasite passes from the bloodstream to the liver where it reproduces and re-enters the bloodstream. As the infection spreads throughout the body, the person experiences a high fever and chils.
Which system of the body reacts to cause the fever and chills?
digestive
excretory
immune
respiratory
Bears hibernate during part or all of the winter months. Before they do so, bears must each much more food than normal in order to store the excess food in the body in the form of fats.
Which statement best explains how fats sustain the bears during hibernation?
The fats provide the energy to sustain their warmer than normal body temperature and fast heart rates.
The fats provide the energy to sustain their colder than normal body temperatures and slower heart rates.
The fats provide the energy to sustain their warmer than normal body temperatures and slower heart rates.
The fats provide the energy to sustain their colder than normal body temperatures and faster heart rates.
The bombardier beetle produces a large popping sound when releasing a chemcial from its abdomen. This chemical has a foul oder and is as hot as boiling water.
What explains this behavior?
The helps the beetle stay warm.
It helps the beetle catch its prey.
It helps the beetle attract a mate.
It helps the beetle protect itself from the predators.
amount of water in the two beakers
the type of beakers used in the experiment
duration of the experiment
presence or absence of the celery stalk in the beakers
The nutrients will move into the cell across the cell membrane.
The nutrients will move out of the cell across the cell membrane.
The nutrients will move farther away from the cell.
The nutrients will remain in their current position.

In sexual reproduction, only the male parent passess genes to the offspring.
In sexual reproduction, only the female parent passes genes to the offspring.
In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genes from both parents, and each offspring has a new combination of traits.
In sexual reproduction, the male parent passes its genes to male offspring, and the female parent passes its genes to female offspring.
What can be concluded about strawberry plants?
Strawberry plants reproduce only by asexual reproduction.
Strawberry plants reproduce only by sexual reproduction.
Strawberry plants reproduce both by asexual and sexual reproduction.
Strawberry plants reproduce neither by asexual nor sexual reproduction.
