Answer:
Reproductive System
All the body systems have one role or the other to play in digestion and absorption. Even the excretory system removes waste and toxins from the body, leaving the useful materials.
However, the reproductive system is not actively involved in digestion.
Answer:
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is transformed into ATP. -- It uses oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. -- It helps maintain homeostasis by transforming energy that can be used to do cellularwork.

b. 4 They assumed that different ways of separating an embryo into two parts would be equivalent as far as the fate of the two parts was concerned.
c. 4 I and III only
Explanation:
The passage demonstrates the importance of two factors in the development of an embryo: cleavage planes of division of embryonic cells and cell differentiation.
Cleavage Planes:
Cleavage basically refers to the division of the zygote into a large number of cells called blastomeres. Cleavage planes are geometrical lines or orientations along which cleavage takes place. Since, all embryonic cells are the precursors of some type of body cells, the cleavage planes determine if the cells are adequate for growth and development.
Cell Differentiation:
Cell differentiation is the transition of an undifferentiated cell into a specialized one. For example, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that develop into progenitor cells that mature into a specific cell lineage. For an embryo to regenerate, the presence of adequate embryonic stem cells is crucial. Embryonic stem cells are present in abundance before the gastrulation phase of embryonic development, after which they rapidly start differentiating.
