Q. How do cells carry out functions for life?
Cells carry on the many functions needed to sustain life. They grow and divide, thereby producing more cells. This requires that they take in nutrients, which they use to provide energy for the work that cells do and to make the materials that a cell or an organism needs.
Q. What do cells need to live and function?
Energy for Cells Cells need energy in order to survive and thrive. In all living organisms, anywhere from one cell to trillions of cells work together to perform the functions that animals, plants and humans need to stay alive. For all of these jobs, they need energy that comes from various food sources.

Q. What does the cell need to do to stay alive and or keep the organism alive?
To survive, every cell must have a constant supply of vital substances such as sugar, minerals, and oxygen, and dispose of waste products, all carried back and forth by the blood cells. Without these substances, cells would die in a very short period of time.
Q. Which is the biggest gland in our body?
liver
Q. What is the heaviest organ in the human body?
Q. What is the bloodiest organ?
liver’s
Q. What is the best human organ?
Many people would probably think it’s the heart, however, it’s the brain! While your heart is a vital organ, the brain (and the nervous system that attaches to the brain) make up the most critical organ system in the human body.
Q. What organs do we not use?
Here are some of the “non-vital organs”.
- Spleen. This organ sits on the left side of the abdomen, towards the back under the ribs.
- Stomach.
- Reproductive organs.
- Colon.
- Gallbladder.
- Appendix.
- Kidneys.
Q. What body part has the most blood in it?
lungs
Q. Which leg has a main artery?
femoral artery
Q. How does the heart pump blood around your body?
The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
Q. What carries blood back to your heart?
The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body’s tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Arteries begin with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart.
Q. What do you call the largest blood vessels in the body?
The largest artery in the body is the aorta, which is connected to the heart and extends down into the abdomen (Figure 7.4. 2). The aorta has high-pressure, oxygenated blood pumped directly into it from the left ventricle of the heart.
Q. What are the 3 blood vessels?
There are three kinds of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Each of these plays a very specific role in the circulation process. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
Q. Which is the largest artery in our body why it is big in size?
Aorta
Q. What is the biggest and toughest artery in your body?
the aorta
