explain the healing process
our body gets injured and begins to heal by allowing blood to clot and forming a scab. during this process, our tissues work together to form a gap to allow for new cells to grow
stable internal condition is known as
homeostasis
true or false : light intensity and gases are considered abiotic factors
explain a population and ecosystem
All populations living together (biotic factors) and the physical factors with which they interact (abiotic factors) compose an ecosystem.
salt, sugar and snow are known as
