growth and change;
ability to reproduce;
,movement;
have a metabolism and excretion
metabolism and excretion - chemical reactions - ANSWER anabolism
catabolism
absorption
respiration
excretion
integumentary system - ANSWER protects against the external environment,
thermoregulation, and sensory
Skin (cutaneous membrane) - ANSWER Epidermis: covers surface; protects deeper
tissues
Dermis: nourishes epidermis, provides strength, contains glands
