use?
a. They are exhaled
b. They are changed into oxygen by the lungs
c. They circulate through the body and are disposed of later

b. The body's food-processing system d. The body's blood-transporting system
____12. From what source do cells get their food?
a. Blood b. Oxygen c. Other cells d. Carbon dioxide
____13. Why is oxygen important to blood and to the cells?
a. Oxygen helps the blood to clot
b. Oxygen brings food to the cells
c. Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy
d. Oxygen is not important - carbon dioxide is the most important substance to the body
____14. Which type of blood vessels carries blood away from the heart?
a. Veins b. Arteries c. Capillaries d. Arteries, veins and capillaries
____15. Why is blood that flows from the lungs to the heart bright red rather than dark red?
a. Oxygen makes it red
b. Carbon dioxide makes it red
c. Gastric juices produce the red colour of the blood
d. The lungs add a pigment (dye) to blood as it flows through them
____16. What part of the blood carries minerals, vitamins, sugar, and other foods to the body's cells?
a. Plasma b. Platelets c. Red corpuscles d. White corpuscles
____17. What is the main job of the red corpuscles in the blood?
a. To clot blood
b. To fight disease
c. To transport oxygen to the body's cells and carry away carbon dioxide from the cells
d. To transport carbon dioxide to the body's cells and carry away oxygen from the cells
____18. What would happen to people who have an open wound and whose blood did not clot naturally?
