Circular System
The main organ of the circulatory system is...
What is the heart?
This organ starts the digestion process by chewing food.
What is the mouth?
This organ is responsible for breathing and gas exchange.
What are the lungs?
This process produces two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
The power house of the cell...
What is the mitochondria?
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
This long tube connects the mouth to the stomach.
What is the esophagus?
This muscle helps pull air into the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
This process reduces the chromosome number by half.
What is meiosis?
This part of the cell controls its activities and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These tiny vessels connect arteries and veins.
What are capillaries?
This organ produces bile, which helps break down fats.
What is the liver?
These tiny air sacs in the lungs allow for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
What are alveoli?
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle.
What is metaphase?
This jelly-like substance inside the cell holds organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
This component of blood helps in clotting.
What are platelets?
This part of the digestive system absorbs most nutrients from food.
What is the small intestine?
This tube carries air from the throat to the lungs.
What is the trachea?
This term describes cells with half the number of chromosomes.
What is haploid?
Plant cells have this rigid outer layer that animal cells do not.
What is the cell wall?
This type of circulation sends blood to the lungs to get oxygen.
What is pulmonary circulation?
This digestive enzyme is found in saliva and breaks down starches.
What is amylase?
This process is how oxygen and carbon dioxide move between alveoli and blood.
What is diffusion?
This phase of meiosis increases genetic variation by swapping DNA.
What is crossing over?
This organelle packages and ships proteins within the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
