- 6. Relating to the process of breaking down food into absorbable nutrients.
- 8. System: The system of the heart and blood vessels responsible for circulating blood throughout the body.
- 11. Tissue: A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function.
- 12. Pertaining to the circulation of fluids, often referring to the circulatory system.
- 13. The basic structural and functional units of living organisms.
- 14. Specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions, e.g., mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplasts.
- 15. A simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy in living organisms, particularly through cellular respiration.
- 17. Membrane: Also known as the plasma membrane, it surrounds the cell, regulates what enters and exits the cell, and provides structural support.
- 18. Cells: Eukaryotic cells found in plants, characterized by a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole.
- 23. Tissue that transmits electrical impulses in animals.
- 24. Cells: Eukaryotic cells found in animals, lacking a cell wall and often having a round or irregular shape.
