Respiration
This gas is needed for aerobic respiration and is taken into the body through inhalation.
What is Oxygen
This type of cancer, common in smokers, affects the main organs of the respiratory system
What is lung cancer
These cells transport oxygen using the pigment haemoglobin.
What are red blood cells
This vascular tissue transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
What is xylem
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called ____.
What is osmosis

What is lactic acid
Smoking in public places contributes to this form of pollution affecting indoor air quality.
What is air pollution
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries
This force allows water molecules to adhere to xylem walls.
What is adhesion

What is active transport
These structures branch from the trachea and lead into each lung.
Bronchi
Smoking increases the heart's workload, raising the risk of this event caused by blocked coronary arteries.

What are cilia
This artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
What is Pulmonary artery
Phloem transports amino acids and hormones in addition to this main product of photosynthesis.
