Diffusion & Osmosis
This is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion
What is transpiration?
This process involves the loss of water vapor from the plant's leaves.
This blood cell type has no nucleus and is shaped like a biconcave disc.
Red Blood Cells
These blood vessels carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
Arteries
This is the muscular chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta.
Left ventricle
This term describes the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis
The tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant is called this.
Xylem
This component of blood helps in clotting and stopping bleeding.
Platelets
Name three substances that are exchange via the capillaries
gases- carbon dioxide, oxygen, nutrients, hormones
The heart has four chambers, and this one receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
Right atrium
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it will undergo this process, resulting in the shrinkage of the cell
Plasmolysis
What are phloem tubes?
This tissue transports the products of photosynthesis, such as sugars, throughout the plant.
The liquid portion of blood that carries nutrients, waste products, and gases is called this.
Plasma
This large artery carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
Aorta
This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.
Bicuspid valve (mitral valve)
This factor does NOT affect the rate of diffusion: temperature, concentration gradient, or size of the solute.
Size of the solute
This type of plant adaptation reduces water loss by minimizing the surface area of leaves.
Having needle-like/ spike leaves.
Where are the blood cells made?
In the bone marrow
All types of this blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood except which one?
Pulmonary vein
Of all the 4 chambers of the heart, the walls of this chamber is the thickest.
Left ventricle
What is meant by the 'net movement of water'?
The overall direction and amount of movement of water
In some desert plants, this adaptation helps them to lose less water by closing their __________________ during the hottest part of the day.
Stomata
The oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells.
Haemoglobin
True or false: All blood vessels contain valves except veins.
False
What is pulmonary circulation?
The part of the circulatory system that moves deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, and then returns the oxygenated blood back to the heart
