The first step in the water cycle is:
infiltration |
|
evaporation |
|
reclamation |
|
precipitation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
mitochondria |
|
water |
|
oxygen |
|
sugar |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
