QUESTION 6
The correct answer is: kidney.
QUESTION 7
The correct answer is: small intestine and large intestine.
QUESTION 8
The correct answer is: cell body.
QUESTION 9
The correct answer is: Her pupils shrink because the muscles contract. When light enters the eyes, the muscles of the iris contract, causing the pupils to shrink in order to reduce the amount of light entering the eye and protect the sensitive retinal cells.
QUESTION 10
The correct answer is: Iris. The iris is the part of the eye that contains muscle tissue, which allows it to control the size of the pupil and regulate the amount of light entering the eye.

Question 11
The correct answer is: Their thick fur retains heat. Polar bears have thick fur that helps to trap heat close to their bodies and insulate them from the freezing cold weather.
Question 12
The correct answer is: A lizard is cold, and it moves to a sunny rock to warm up. In this example, the organism is relying on an external change (moving to a sunny rock) rather than internal changes to reach homeostasis.
Question 13
The correct answer is: Cells maintain internal stability. Homeostasis is achieved through the active maintenance of stable internal conditions by cells in the body.
Question 14
The correct answer is: Both make it possible for you to respond to your environment by moving. Both muscle cells and bone cells contribute to the body's ability to move and respond to stimuli.
Question 15
The correct answer is: to work together to do a specific job. Organ systems in the body consist of multiple organs that work together to perform specific functions necessary for the overall functioning of the body.

The correct answer is: bronchioles. Bronchioles are small airways located inside the lungs that help facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs.
Question 18
The correct answer is: kidney. The kidneys are organs in the excretory system that filter waste products and excess substances from the blood to produce urine.
Question 19
The correct answer is: stimuli. Stimuli are changes in the internal or external environment that elicit a response from an organism.
Question 20
The correct answer is: Through interneurons in the brain and spinal cord that connect sensory neurons and motor neurons. Sensory neurons transmit signals to interneurons in the brain and spinal cord, which in turn send signals to motor neurons to initiate a response.
