J. Body Processes: Fill in the blanks to complete the statements on body processes.

The functional activities that result in growth and repair of body tissue are called

This function consists of two processes that have opposite effects, namely The taking in of food and oxygen occurs in the state which builds up complex materials form simpler ones. The release of energy and carbon dioxide occurs in the state which is the breaking down of compex substances into simpler ones. These functions require a stable,

environment; maintaining this internal environment is known as

metabolism
