Solutions
Proteins - Ans:✔✔-necessary for the body's maintenance, growth and repair
Carbohydrates - Ans:✔✔-the starches and sugars present in foods

Minerals - Ans:✔✔-substances that the body cannot manufacture but that are needed for forming
healthy bones and teeth and regulating many vital body processes
Fiber - Ans:✔✔-provides bulk which allows the large intestine to carry away waste matter
Water - Ans:✔✔-essential for survival; the body loses approximately four pints of water each day
Arthropods - Ans:✔✔-a huge animal phylum that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans

Ligaments - Ans:✔✔-tissue that connects bone to bone
Respiration - Ans:✔✔-the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide and
water vapor
Circulatory System - Ans:✔✔-Functions to transport nutrients throughout the body and get rid of wastes
such as carbon dioxide
Gametes - Ans:✔✔-reproductive cells
Gene - Ans:✔✔-a unit of inheritance
Genotype - Ans:✔✔-genetic makeup, including both dominant and recessive alleles
Phenotype - Ans:✔✔-how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics
Monera - Ans:✔✔-Includes bacteria, cyanobacteria (blue green algae), and primitive pathogens.
Considered the most primitive kingdom, it represents prokaryotic life forms -- that is, the cells of
Monrean organisms do not have distinct nuclei.
Protista - Ans:✔✔-Th simplest eukaryotes (cells have nuclei). Includes protozoa, unicellular and
multicellular algae, and smile and water slime molds. Ancestor organisms to plants, animals and fungi;
many can move around by means of flagella
