8. Multicellular organisms whose cells contain organelles.






9. A process through which organisms make nutrients available to cells.

33. The level of plant and animal between the species and the family.






34. The Earth's atmosphere is primarily nitrogen and oxygen. The troposphere extends from the surface to about 10 km.; the stratosphere from 10km to 50 km.; the mesosphere from 50 km. to 80 km.; and the thermosphere is the atmosphere beyond 80 km.






35. A cancer treatment that includes chemicals toxic to mailgnant cells.






36. Plants that live through more than one growing season.






37. A protein that aids biochemical reactions.






38. The combined cooling effect of wind and temperature. Higher wind chills indicate that a body will cool more quickly to the air temperature.






39. In the United States - the part of the western mountains that seperates water flowing toward opposite sides of the country.






40. Reproductive haploid cells that combine to creat a zygote.






41. A malignant tumor - which forms in the skin and outside of internal organs.
