  2. 5. Round, red-colored blood cells that contain hemoglobin, which transports oxygen.
  3. 9. Small parts that stick out of the cells in the outer layer of a plant's root.
  4. 10. Any of the unspecialized cells in a multicellular organism. Stem cells can divide and become any cell type in the body, except a sperm or egg cell.
  5. 13. An extension from the cell body of a neuron that sends signals to other cells.
  6. 14. Cells that cover the internal and external surfaces in a body.
  7. 16. A type of tissue in animals that shortens, or contracts, to move bones or substances in the body.
  8. 18. A bundle of axons that carries signals to or from the brain.

  1. 1. A type of tissue in animals that carries electrical signals to coordinate and control what happens in the body.
  2. 2. The vascular tissue in plants that carries water and dissolved minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  3. 3. A type of tissue in plants that provides support and is where food is made and stored.
  4. 6. A type of tissue that covers organs or forms the inner lining of body cavities.
  5. 7. Cells that carry signals throughout the nervous system. Nerve cells are also called neurons.
  6. 8. Cells that contract or change shape to cause movement.
  7. 11. A plant that does not have vascular tissue.
  8. 12. A plant that has a system of vessels that transport water and dissolved nutrients throughout the plant.
  9. 15. The vascular tissue in plants that carries dissolved organic nutrients in all directions within the plant.
