Breathing & Respiration
This is a series of chemical reactions that releases energy from glucose, taking place within the mitochondria.
What is respiration?
This is the structure of the heart that prevents oxygenated blood from mixing with deoxygenated blood.
What is the septum?
This is the word equation for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide + water yields (in the presence of light) glucose + oxygen?
This is what we call it when pollen is captured by the stigma.
What is pollination?
This structure protects the unopened flower.
What is the sepal?
These are the two sets of muscles responsible for breathing.
What are the diaphragm and intercostal muscles?
These are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood, and the exception to the rule.
What are arteries and the pulmonary artery?
These are the two types of tissue that transport substances in plants.
What are the xylem and phloem?
This is fertilization and where it occurs in the plant.
What is the fusion of the male and female gamete in the ovule?
This coating prevents water loss through the top of the leaf.
What is the waxy cuticle?
These are the scientific names for the voice box, wind pipe, and air sacs.
What are larynx, trachea, and alveoli?
These are the two large chambers of the heart that blood flows out of.
What are the left and right ventricles?
These are the 3 types of cells in a leaf that contain chloroplasts.
What are palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, and guard cells?
These are 3 ways that plants disperse their seeds.
What are animal excretion, wind, and burs?
This is a green pigment responsible for photosynthesis and the central atom of the molecule.
What are chlorophyll and magnesium?
This is a comparison between the air before gas exchange and after gas exchange.
These are the two things that happen to our heart beat when we exercise.
What is the heart beating harder and faster?
This is the dependent variable in our aquatic plant experiment.
What is the volume of oxygen produced?
These are the 3 things needed for germination.
What are water, warmth and oxygen?
This is the path taken by air during expiration.
What are alveoli, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, and mouth/nose?
This is the importance of surface area in breathing.
What is high surface area of the alveoli increases the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged?
These are the 4 main components of blood, and their purpose.
What are red blood cells (carry oxygen), white blood cells (fight pathogens), platelets (help clotting), and plasma (carry nutrients & proteins)?
This is a long chain of glucose that plants use to store energy, the chemical that reactions when in contact with these chains, and what that reaction looks like.
What are starch, iodine, and blue/black?
These are the male organ and components of a plant, as well as the female organ and components of a plant.
What are stamen (anther & filament) and carpel (stigma, style & ovary)?
This is diffusion.
What is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration, through a semi-permeable membrane.
