All of the following terms are correctly matched with an appropriate definition or characterization EXCEPT... a. Hemoglobin: oxygen transport protein b. capillaries: type of blood vessel from which cells can obtain nutrients and oxygen and dispose of wastes c. lymph nodes: may become swollen due to an infection d. arteries: blood vessel containing one-way valves e. fibrin: protein that forms blood clots 8. All of the following terms are correctly matched with an appropriate definition or characterization EXCEPT... a. Helper T cells: cell that coordinates the cell mediated and antibody mediated responses b. Natural killer cells: cell that attacks a specific invader with toxic chemicals c. Antigen: foreign protein that can trigger an immune response d. Plasma cells: cell that produces antibodies as part of the specific defense mechanism e. Inflammation: part of the nonspecific defense mechanism that causes redness, increased body temperature, and swelling

1. Which of the following are components of all cardiovascular systems? Select the THREE answers that are correct. a series of tubes an organ for gas exchange a circulating fluid a cavity for nutrient and gas exchange a pump 2. Why do larger animals have closed circulatory systems? Closed circulatory systems feature a smaller network of blood vessels than open circulatory systems, which allows for more targeted delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells Closed circulatory systems do not have chambers in the heart, which lessens complexity in the system and increases efficiency in oxygen and nutrient delivery. Closed circulatory systems are less complex than open circulatory systems such that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to cells more quickly. Closed circulatory systems allow for mixing of blood with other bodily fluids, which increases the rate at which oxygen and nutrients are carried to cells. • Closed circulatory systems deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and waste from cells more efficiently than open circulatory systems.

Please select the best example of homeostasis from the choices below. - When muscle cells need more oxygen, heart rate increases to pump blood faster. - When plants do not get enough water, their vacuoles shrink and plants wilt. - Technology can help a person to breathe when they cannot get enough oxygen on their own. - Bacteria live inside the digestive organs of animals, often supplying them with essential nutrients.
