Endocrine system
b)
Integumentary system
c)
Excretory system
d)
Circulatory system
12.

a)

Respiratory system

b)

Circulatory system

c)

Muscular system

d)

Nervous system

13.

Why is the maintenance of homeostasis important to multicellular organisms?

a)

They must keep their internal environment within a narrow range of conditions.

b)

They require the ability to adjust their internal environment to match their external environment

c)

Their cells need to be able to respond rapidly to drastic changes in their external enviornment

d)

Their internal environment must provide their cells with a wide range of conditions

14.

Olympic sprinters undergo increased heart and breathing rates while competing. Which of the following best describes the interactions among systems of a sprinter?

a)

Respiratory system is working to obtain more oxygen, while the circulatory system works to transport the oxygen to the muscles.

b)

The digestive system takes in more glucose, while the excretory system removes waste.

c)

The endocrine system transports ATP to the nervous system

d)

Excretory system removes waste from the digestive system to reduce weight so the sprinter can run faster
