This document contains formative practice questions from chapters 3 of a science textbook. The questions cover various topics relating to transportation systems in organisms, including: 1) The function of transport systems and examples of substances transported in and out of cells. 2) Components of the human circulatory and blood systems, including the roles of arteries, veins, capillaries, blood groups, and blood donation. 3) Transportation of water and nutrients in plants via xylem and phloem tissues, and factors that influence transpiration. 4) Similarities and differences between circulatory systems in animals and transport systems in plants.
