100

The main parts of the circulatory system? 

What are the heart, lung, veins, arteries, capillaries?

100

Process in which water is removed from the cells and passes into the environment

What is transpiration?

100

This experiment showed us the way a plant brings water up from the roots to the leaves of a plant.

What is the celery experiment?

200

A leaf in which the veins are straight lines all running in the same direction

What is a parallel leaf?

200

The hollow cells of a plant that transport water and minerals to plant cells

What are xylem?

200

A muscular organ that pumps blood

What is the heart?

200

A sugar-rich liquid transported by phloem to parts of the plant that can't make their own food

What is sap?

200

The part that changes color because it is carrying water from the roots to all cells of the plant (transpiration). 

What is the xylem?

300

A leaf that has one main vein with smaller veins branching off sideways from it 

What is a pinnate leaf?

300

The long cells through which nutrients, such as sugars, are distributed in a plant.

What are phloem?

300

This part brings oxygen to all the cells in the body.

What are capillaries?

300

The part that makes sure that blood only flows in one direction in the heart.

What are valves?

300

Blood needs to travel through the lungs to add this. 

What is oxygen?

400

A leaf in which several veins start at one point near the base. The veins look like the fingers of a hand 

What is a palmate leaf?

400

The group of xylem tubes and phloem tubes in a vascular plant.

What is a vascular bundle?

400

The blood vessel that carries blood from the body to the heart.

What is a vein?

400

The upper chamber of the heart.

What is the atrium?

400

This is produced by plants and is transported to all the cells of the plant that can't make their own food.

What is sap?

500

The process in which water is removed from the cells and passes into the environment through the leaves of a plant.

What is transpiration?

500

Name of a system that keeps fluids moving throughout the entire system, maintaining a moist environment for all cells.

What is a vascular system?

500

The blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body. 

What is the artery?

500

The lower chamber of the heart.

What is the ventricle?

500

In the celery experiment, the water disappears through this process.

What is evaporation?
