Cells
You’re about to go for a run. Your body needs to supply oxygen to your muscles, get rid of carbon dioxide, and regulate temperature. Which organ systems are involved?
Circulatory, Respiratory
You’ve just eaten a meal. Your body needs to digest food and distribute nutrients while removing waste.
Digestive, Excretory
What is a group of organs that work together to perform related tasks or functions.
Organ system
How do changes in the respiratory rate (like during exercise) affect the circulatory system’s function?
The heart beats faster to increase blood flow- oxygen delivery
What organ system do these organs belong to: small intestine, mouth, stomach
Digestive system
The purpose or job that something is designed to do.
Function
T/F All cells come from pre-existing cells
True
A group of similar cells that work together to carry out a specific function within an organ.
Tissue
How does the excretory system help the body get rid of waste products, and why is this important?
It gets rid of harmful waste that would build up in our body.
What organ system do these organs belong to: heart, capillaries, arteries
Circulatory system
T/F Unicellular organisms are capable of carrying out all life functions.
True
Name two organelles only found in plant cells.
Cell wall and chloroplast
How do the nervous system and muscular system work together to help you move your body?
Nervous system sends signals to the muscles to move.
What is the function of mitochondria?
Produce energy in the form of ATP
How do cell membranes in the kidney help it filter out waste, and why would this be important for the digestive system?
It filters out nutrients that are helpful for cells so it is not lost in our waste.
What is the role of the heart in the body, and how does it work with the lungs?
Heart-To pump blood and oxygen throughout the body and remove waste, Lungs- To take in the oxygen and exchange it for carbon dioxide as waste.
You touch a hot stove and you automatically move your hand.” What two body systems are working together to protect you?
Muscular, Nervous
A structure made up of different tissues working together to perform a specific function in the body.
Organ
Can you explain how the digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, while the excretory system removes any leftover waste?
Digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules to be absorbed, Excretory system filters out nutrients and eliminates waste as urine.
What organ system do these organs belong to: brain, spinal cord, nerve tissue
Nervous system
How do the digestive system and the circulatory system work together to provide energy to the body?
Digestive system breaks down food into molecules, Circulatory system delivers molecules to all cells.
What is the function of the nucleus?
Controls everything in the cell.
The physical arrangement or organization of parts in something
Structure
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
What organ system do these organs belong to: Lungs, Alveoli, bronchi
Respiratory system
