apply):
a. metabolism
b. anabolism
c. catabolism
d. responsiveness
e. differentiation - ANS-a. metabolism &
b. anabolism
how are reproduction, differentiation, & growth related? - ANS-reproduction
occurs through the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm cell to form a zygote,
followed by repeated cell divisions & the differentiation of these cells.
growth is an increase in body size that results from an increase in the size
of existing cells, an increase, in the number of cells, or both.

are the
a. cardiovascular & integumentary systems
b. nervous & endocrine systems
c. cardiovascular & respiratory systems
d. respiratory & muscular systems
e. urinary & integumentary systems - ANS-b. nervous & endocrine systems
which body fluid fills the narrow spaces between cells & tissues?
a. lymph
b. blood plasma
c. interstitial fluid
ANS-c. interstitial fluid
describe the differences between positive & negative feedback systems -
ANS-a positive feedback system will strengthen or reinforce a change in
one of the bodies controlled conditions while a negative feedback system
will reverse a change in a controlled condition
