Glucose
What is the largest land animal?
Elephant

Explain what photosynthesis is.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water and turn it into glucose (food for them to eat) and oxygen for us to breathe in.
These are the molecules of gas that are released from the muscles to the blood that are passed on to the lungs for exhaling.

Exercising
this attaches muscles to the bone, it is connective tissue.

What happens to the rate of cellular respiration when we exercise, and why?
The rate of cellular respiration increases because we are inhaling more oxygen and exhaling more carbon dioxide.
What are the 3 main states of matter
