ANSWER KEY

1-10
Every living thing is made of tiny units called cells. Ea{ch} cell h{as} a th{in} outer la{yer} that ke{eps} its con{tents} together a{nd} lets cer{tain} materials pa{ss} through. In{side}, a soft fluid supports smaller parts that handle jobs like making energy and repairing damage. When many cells of the same kind work together, they form tissues such as muscle or skin. Learning how cells function helps scientists understand growth, health, and disease.

Bridges allow people and vehicles to cross rivers, valleys, or busy roads safely. To st{ay} strong, th{ey} must sp{read} the we{ight} they ca{rry} across th{eir} supports. Bui{lders} often ch{oose} materials su{ch} as st{eel} or concrete because these can stretch slightly under pressure instead of breaking. Over time, weather and traffic slowly wear a bridge down, so inspections and repairs are essential. Without proper care, even the best design can fail when weight or age takes its toll.
