Respiration
The organ we use to breathe
What is a lung?
The type of blood cell that transports oxygen
The name given to forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction
What are balanced forces?
The formula for pressure
What is force divided by area?
The place where an organism lives
What is a habitat?
The part of the lung where gas exchange occurs
What are the alveoli?
This component of blood is responsible for carrying nutrients to the body's tissues
What is plasma?
The formula for calculating speed
What is distance divided by time?
The unit for pressure
What is Newton per square meter?
An organism that naturally occurs and has lived in a specific ecosystem for years
What is the mitochondria?
What is paper chromatography?
The formula for calculating moments
What is force times distance?
The name of the process that allows us to smell freshly baked bread even when we're outside of a bakery
What is diffusion?
The network of interactions between living and non-living organisms
What is an ecosystem?
The word equation for respiration
This can help more salt dissolve in water (increasing solubility)
What is higher temperature?
The unit for moment
How temperature affects pressure
The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure
What is an invasive species?
This muscle contracts and moves downward to increase the volume in the lung
What is the diaphragm?
White blood cells produce this to fight pathogens
What are antibodies?
Effects of unbalanced forces
What are change of direction and speed?
Why temperature affects pressure
At higher temperatures, particles move faster and have more energy. This causes them to collide more often and spread out.
Examples of the effects invasive species can have on an ecosystem
Some possible answers: may exhaust the food resources, may outcompete native species, may introduce disease, may destroy habitats, may affect food webs
