Responsiveness
Growth
Reproduction
Respiration
Digestion
Absorption
Circulation

the body, required for metabolic processes. Metabolic processes transport substances within the
body regulating temperature.
Food- Provide body with necessary chemicals to sustain life. used in variety of ways by body
Oxygen- One fifth of air, used in process of releasing energy from food substances.
Heat- Form of energy, product of metabolic reactions.
