A

Circulation

20
Q

What form of digestion is the process by which food is broken down initially before being ingested?

Extracellular

21
Q

What form of digestion is the process by which food is broken down within the cells into its component atoms?

A

Intracellular

22
Q

The process by which digested food is converted into new living tissue if the organism that consumed it is?

A

Assimilation

23
Q

Organisms that consume other things to gain energy

A

Heterotrophs

24
Q

Feeds on only heterotrophs

A

Carnivore

25
Q

Feeds off both autotrophs and heterotrophs

A

Omnivore

26
Q

Organism that is capable of producing its own food

A

Autotrophs

27
Q

Type of organism that feeds on the fluids of the internal organs of its host is?

A

Endo- Parasite

28
Q

Type of organism that feeds of dead or decaying organisms

A

Scavengers

29
Q

Type of organism that feeds in the fluids just below the epidermis if its host

A

Ecto-Parasite

30
Q

Autotrophs use sunlight to produce food are using what?

A

Photosynthesis

31
Q

Autotrophs use chemicals to produce food are using what process?

A

Chemosynthesis

32
Q

During Assimilation simple sugars are converted into what?

A

Fats, oils, starches, and glycogen

33
Q

During Assimilation amino acids are converted into what?

A

Proteins and enzymes

34
Q

What 2 vessels are involved in carrying food and wastes throughout the body?

A

Arteries and veins

35
Q

What does an artery do?

A

Pumps food and oxygen to cells

36
Q

What does the vein do?

A

Pumps waste and carbons dioxide away from cells

37
Q

What two vessels carry food and water throughout plants?

A

Xylem and Phloem

38
Q

What does the xylem do?

A

Pumps water minerals up from the roots

39
Q

What does phloem do?

A

Pumps food down to the roots

40
Q

An organism uses its 5 senses to pick up what from its environment?

A

Stimuli

41
Q

The reaction of organisms to the changes in their environment are?

A

Responses

42
Q

The process which a sperm united with the ovum during sexual reproduction is?

A

Fertilization

43
Q

Why are life processes of an organism so difficult to detect and classify?

A

Huge variety of living things, most life processes are internal, many organisms feed internally or camouflage, habitats are hard to reach diverse and hostile, and animals move around are hard to find and often flee

44
Q

What are examples of extremely diverse, hostile, and difficult to reach habitats?

A

Deep oceans, mountains, rainforests
