ANS: F
Blood in the cardiovascular system transports oxygen.
3. The part of metabolism that synthesizes large molecules from smaller ones is called
catabolism.
ANS: F
Anabolism is the building-up process.
4. Anabolism is the building-up process.
ANS: T
5. When your body needs water, you get thirsty, then you get a drink. This is an example of a
positive feedback mechanism because you take a positive action by getting a drink.
ANS: F
It is negative feedback because taking a drink removes the stimulus.
