mitochondria?
(a) brain cells
(b) muscle cells
(c) skin cells

B. reproductive
C. nervous
D. cardiovascular
9. Some plants have specialized tube-like structures
that transport nutrients, minerals, and water.

and phloem in plants?
A. gills or lungs
B. muscles
C. blood vessels

10. How does the respiratory system interact with the circulatory
system?
A.
The respiratory system brings in oxygen so the circulatory system
can transport it throughout the body
B.
The circulatory system removes oxygen and other nutrients from the
body to make room for carbon dioxide in the respiratory system.
C.
The respiratory system brings in carbon dioxide so the circulatory
system can transport it throughout the body.
D.
The respiratory system transports oxygen and other nutrients to the
heart for the circulatory system.
11. An organ is a structure made up of two or more tissues working
together to perform a specific function. Which of the following
organs would contain the most nerve tissue according to its
functional role in the body?
A. stomach
B. heart

integumentary system and the bones of the skeletal system work
together in the human body?
A. The skin protects the body from the external environment, and the bones protect the
internal organs.
B. The skin takes in oxygen from the external environment, and the bones convert it into
carbon dioxide.
C. The skin absorbs nutrients from the external environment, and the bones transport them
around the body.
D. The skin attaches to the bones of the body and relaxes or contracts in order to allow the
human body to move.
