By interacting with the external environment, if you mean how molecules are transported outside and into the cell then there are 3 main ways of transport.

Passive transport which refers to the movement of molecules into the cell without using any energy. This includes osmosis (movement of water), diffusion (movement of small molecules like salt) and facilitated diffusion which is the movement of large molecules such as glucose via by channels on the plasma membrane.

Note, in diffuson the cell wants equilibrium which means that the cell wants the same ratio of a specific type of molecule compared to the external envionrment. In other words, it's like a a very salty cell becoming less salty because the external envionrment is less salty.

Active transport refers to the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient using energy.

Bulk transport which refers to the movement of molecules that is influenced by the plasma membrane. One of the ways is for the plasma membrane to engulf particles or expel particles. This allows cells to remove waste.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."

Drag each tile to the correct box. the body monitors the levels of oxygen in the blood to regulate breathing. isabel is running in a marathon and is near the finish line. she feels out of breath. how will her nervous system work to generate a reaction? arrange the tiles in chronological order. isabel's breathing rate increases. sensory receptors in the arteries detect low oxygen levels. the brain sends signals through motor neurons. sensory neurons generate an impulse. the central nervous system relays an impulse to certain brain regions.
