What is cellular growth movement of nutrients and wastes as a cell size increases?
As a cell gets larger, it is harder for it to process nutrients. The increase of the volume of a cell also hinders a cell's ability to obtain nutrients.
What is the name of the fluid that lets the brain take in nutrients and remove wastes with blood?
Cerebral spinal fluid
Which human body system delivers oxygen nutrients and hormones to cells and carries carbon dioxide ammonia and other wastes away from cells?
circulatory
Name 2 things that the blood drop off that the cells use to live?
Blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells and takes away carbon dioxide and wastes.
Why purification of blood also referred to as gaseous exchange?
The blood carries both nutrients (food) and wastes to and from cells. At the lungs carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen and at the kidneys blood is filtered and wastes and some water is lost. Most of the water is retained.
Why do some areas of the body have stratified squamous epithelium and other areas have simple squamous epithelium?

What are organisms that consume wastes to obtain the nutrients they need to survive?
decomposers
What transports oxygen nutrients and waste though mammals and fish?
Blood transports oxygen nutrients and wastes in mammals and fish .
What system is responsible for the movement of nutrients oxygen wastes antibodies and hormones?

Is the function of the umbilical cord to let oxygen into the fetus?
The umbilical cord delivers oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and removes wastes.
What is stored in the red blood cells?
The red blood cells store and transport nutrients and wastes throughout the body. Nutrients include food and water molecules along with oxygen while wastes are carbon dioxide.
Nutrients wastes and oxygen are exchanged through the walls of what?
In the case of animals, these exchanges occur in the capillaries.
What happens when blood flows through capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
How do sponges bring oxygen and food into their bodies?
They depend on the constant waterflow of the ocean through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and remove wastes.
Describe how the embryo receives oxygen and nutrients and how it gets rid of wastes?
its gets it all through the umbilical cord
Blood vessels in the dermis that carry oxygen and food?
Arteries to arterioles to capillaries where exchange occurs. Oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and wastes.
