In your own words explain how a stalactite forms?
Most stalactites are limestone. Water, often rainwater, seeps through material which causes it to absorb carbon dioxide, as it seeps further it dissolves limestone. Then when it reaches the ceiling of a cave it slowly begins to forms droplets. As these dry they deposit the limestone on the ceiling. This happens again and again, one drop at a time, and very slowly over years this deposit grows forming a stalactite.
How do veins bring oxygen to every cell?
Veins don't bring oxygen, they carry blood back to the heart and lungs. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body. So the oxygen is carried through the blood, right? So then what I learned in my bio class is that the oxygen then seeps out of the blood vessels and goes into the cells outside it. What makes this possible is that the cell membrane (the outside of animal cells) has the job of letting some molecules in and some molecules out. If this is totally different from what anybody else learned, then feel free to improve my answer.
