All living things: Answer: are made of cells
respond to the environment
maintain stable internal conditions (homeostasis)
grow and develop
reproduce
convert fuel and food (metabolism)
Vasular plants Answer: The shoot system consists of leaves, stems, and reproductive
organs (if present). The root system contains just the roots.
dermal tissue Answer: tissue of the plant that makes up the waxy outer layer of the
plant
ground tissue Answer: tissue system that makes up the majority of a plant
mesophyll Answer: The ground tissue of a leaf, sandwiched between the upper and
lower epidermis and specialized for photosynthesis.
Meristem Answer: Undifferentiated plant tissue from which new cells are formed
vascular tissue Answer: Plant tissue consisting of cells joined into tubes that transport
water and nutrients throughout the plant body.
xylems Answer: helps deliver water and minerals to all parts of the plant- center
Phloem Answer: The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants-
outside of vascular bundle
vegatative propagation Answer: asexual reproduction process that only occurs in
mitosis. does not involve gametes- budding
spore dispersal Answer: Spores are released into the air and wherever they land, they
will grow into a new organism
Pistil Answer: Female part of the flower
Stamen Answer: Male part of the flower

, Integumentary System Answer: protects the internal parts of the body from foreign
matter, regulates body temperature, and gets rid of some wastes such as water and salt
through perspiration.
Skeletal System Answer: protects the organs, gives the body structure and support,
works with the muscular system for movement, and stores essential minerals like
calcium
Muscular system Answer: moves body parts working with the skeletal system (ex: leg)
or materials (ex: food via intestine, blood via heart)
Nervous System Answer: detects and processes information and activates body
responses to that information
Cardiovascular /
Circulatory System Answer: transports material (ex: oxygen) throughout the body
Digestive System Answer: breaks down food that is eaten through physical and
chemical reactions, then either absorbs it (small intestine) or passes it from the body
(rectum)
Endocrine System Answer: produces hormones that are used by other parts of the
body to regulate, react, or grow
Lymphatic/Immune System Answer: protects body from disease and infection and
removes excess water from around the organs
Respiratory System Answer: brings oxygen into the bloodstream and releases carbon
dioxide from the bloodstream
Urinary/Excretory system Answer: controls water balance and removes wastes from
the bloodstream
Live attenuated vaccines Answer: Weakened pathogen
Closely mimic an actual infection
Confers lifelong cellular and humoral immunity
Inactivated vaccines Answer: dead organisms injected into patient to build immunity
Subunit, recombinant, conjugate, polysaccharide vaccine Answer: Includes a
recognizable portion of the pathogen, such as a membrane sugar or empty capsid.
Toxoid vaccine Answer: Includes inactivated toxins, or toxoids, produced by the
pathogen
