The statements above describe processes and interactions in what plant function?

defense against diseases

reproduction
transport of necessary materials
response to environmental change

the darker side of the plant. This growth on the darker side causes the plant to bend. This is an example of:
a plant’s ability to reproduce
uptake of water through the plant’s root system
defense from possible predators
a plant’s ability to respond to its environmental conditions

Muscles are contracted, pushing food from the stomach into the small intestine.
A male rabbit sees and chases a female rabbit.
A bird lays her eggs, and protects them from possible predators.

9.
What body function is identified in the process described below?

Respiratory System – mucus in the lungs traps an infectious bacteria cell

Immune System – T-cells attack the bacteria cell
Nervous System – triggers a cough to remove the mucus from the lungs along with the destroyed bacteria
regulation of body temperature
absorption of nutrients
defense
reproduction
