Invasive Species
What insects are invasive species we learned about in class?
Emerald ash borer, Gypsy moth, Asian long-horned beetle
What happens when your chest space becomes smaller?
You are exhaling, air is leaving your lungs.
What is apart of the circulatory system?
Kidneys, Artery, Heart, Veins, and Capillaries.
When the metal parts inside a light switch touch, is the circuit closed or open?
The circuit is closed.
What is a physical hazard?
Hazards that can cause injury by trips, cuts or crushing. Example, falling off a ladder.
How do invasive species arrive in different places?
They hitch rides on ocean crossing ships.
How can respiration be shown?
Digested food+ Oxygen= Energy and Waste products.
Glucose(fuel)+ Oxygen= Energy+ Water(waste)+Carbon Dioxide(waste)
What are the four chambers in your heart called?
The right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle.
What type of electric energy does a electric heater produce?
An electric heater produces heat.
What is a biological hazard?
Hazards that can cause disease and may include viruses, bacteria, or human fluid.
What does an invasive species do to their new environment?
They compete for resources, prey on native species, and they introduce new diseases.
What happens when you inhale and exhale?
Inhaling sends oxygen into the lungs, exhaling sends carbon dioxide waste out of lungs.
What is the thick wall of muscle between the two sides of the heart?
It is called the Septum.
What is an electric motor?
An electric motor is a device that converts electricity into movement.
What is a chemical hazard?
Hazards that have toxic or harmful effects on the body.
Define invasive species.
Species that have been introduced (intentionally or accidentally) from somewhere far away and have a negative impact on the ecosystem.
How does your brain know when to breath?
When the level of carbon dioxide in your blood increases, a message goes to your brain. Then your brain sends a message to your diaphragm and rib muscles to move.
What is the function of the valves in your heart?
Valves control the flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles.
Defines conductors and give some examples we learned.
Materials that let electric current flow very easily through them. Example, metals.
What is a ergonomic hazard?
Hazards that can cause injuries because of repeated movements, prolonged seating or standing.
What can we do to prevent invasive species from spreading?
Clean any gear that leaves one habitat and enters another. Do not transport firewood into a different ecosystem.
Definite respiration.
The process of carrying oxygen to cells, getting rid of carbon dioxide, and releasing energy.
Which artery is your body's main and largest artery?
It is the aorta.
Define insulators and give some examples we learned.
Some materials hardly let any electric current flow through them. Examples, rubber, glass, and plastic.
How can you be exposed to these chemicals?
1. Inhale-breath in
2.Ingest-eat
3.Absorb-through skin
4.Puncture-cut or wound
