1. 2. 3. Cells require amino acids, vitamins, minerals, glucose, and fatty acids. Cells need glucose for energy, amino acids to make proteins, fatty acids to make the cell membrane and hormones. Basically, the cells need these items to maintain itself in energy, regulation, and structure; just like how you need food to maintain your energy, regulate your body's needs, and reinforce it's structure. 4. There are 2 main wastes that the cell produce, and they are carbon dioxide from cellular respiration, and urea (the stuff in urine) . 5. Nutrients enter the bloodstream through digestion process.

9. blood clotting is a process in which liquid blood is changed into a semisolid mass (a blood clot). Thrombosis: Local coagulation or clotting of the blood in a part of the circulatory system Clotting disorder: A defect in the body's mechanism for blood clotting, causing bleeding diathesis.

Hormones travel through the blood until they reach a cell with a receptor that they fit in, and then a molecule attaches to the receptor and sends a signal inside the cell. The signal may tell the cell to produce a certain protein or to multiply. Once Hormones are realized into the system, they are distributed throughout the body. The protein hormones are water soluble and circulate in free forms. This process immediately exposes these water-soluble hormones to circulating catabolizing enzymes giving them an expected half life of seconds to minutes.
