Are Plants Superman?
This is the product of Photosynthesis that humans (and other animals) use constantly.
Oxygen
This is a product of Cellular Respiration that animals cannot make use of; it is removed from the cells through the circulatory system.
Carbon Dioxide
The Stomach, Mouth, and Intestines are part of this Organ System.
Digestive System
The purpose of this Organ System is to move oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells, and to remove waste from them.
Circulatory System
When walking to class, this is how the Nervous System and the Muscular System interact.
The Nervous System senses the world around and moves the muscles to react and/or move through this world.
This is the result of Photosynthesis turning Light Energy into Chemical Energy; animals consume this to break it down during Cellular Respiration.
Sugars (Also known as Glucose, Food)
This is the source of chemical energy that is broken down through Cellular Respiration to create energy usable by the cells.
Sugars (also Glucose, Food)
The Brain and Spinal Cord are the major organs in this Organ System
Nervous System
The purpose of this Organ System is to notice changes and control the body to respond to the changes.
Nervous System
When eating a cookie, this is how the Digestive System and the Circulatory System interact.
The Digestive System breaks down the cookie into sugars and absorbs it, then the Circulatory System moves the sugar around the body to the cells.
Plants require this resource to begin the Light Cycle of Photosynthesis; though they get some of it from within, most of this comes from the air around them.
Carbon Dioxide
True or False: Only animals (humans included) undergo Cellular Respiration; photosynthetic organisms do not need Cellular Respiration.
False: Plants also use Cellular Respiration for their energy.
The Arteries, Veins, Capillaries, and the Heart are part of this Organ System.
Circulatory System
This organ system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing it into the blood.
Digestive System
When jogging in the mountains, this is how the Nervous System and the Respiratory System interact.
The Nervous system senses that there is an increased need for oxygen while jogging, so the Respiratory System brings in more oxygen.
This is the source of energy that is required to start the 'photo' part of Photosynthesis.
Light (usually Sunlight)
This is the site where Cellular Respiration occurs.
At the Cell
Your muscles are part of this Organ System.
Muscular System
This organ system is responsible for keeping the body warm and moving.
Muscular System
When you hear a loud noise, this is how your Nervous System and Muscular System interact.
Sensors in the ear send signals to the brain, then to the muscles to turn and see what caused the noise.
True or False: Photosynthesis completely stops when there is no light present.
False: There's a part of the cycle that happens independent of light.
These are the types of cells that require Cellular Respiration to get energy.
All Cells
Your Skin and Hair are part of this Organ System.
Integumentary System
This organ system is responsible for providing structure to the body and producing blood.
Skeletal System
When you are playing a review game of Jeopardy, this is how your Circulatory System and your Nervous System interact.
The Circulatory System brings Oxygen (and other nutrients) to the brain for energy needed to think.
