1
New cards

respiration

process by which organisms require oxygen for metabolism

2
New cards

animals

In blank, carbon dioxide is produced and oxygen must be removed

3
New cards

plants

in blank carbon dioxide, a waste product of respiration is need for photosynthesis

4
New cards

animals

blank have to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in order to supply

5
New cards

photosynthesis, cellular respiration

Plants exchange gases in two processes. During blank plant take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.


During blank, plant takes in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

6
New cards

Gas exchange

blank is a process by which organism take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide with their environment, its imporatnt because oxygen is needed for cellular respiration to produce energy, while carbon dioxide- a waste gas must be removed.

7
New cards

gas exchange

blank is essential prerequisite for life to continue

8
New cards

basic mechanism

diffusion across a moist membrane is a blank of gas exchange

9
New cards

diffusion

process by which molecules move from an area of hugher concentration to an area of lower concentration in the direction following a concentration gradient

10
New cards

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

two of many gases found in environment which move by diffusion across moist membranes in animals.

11
New cards

breathing

mechanical process by which oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released

12
New cards

respiration

exchange of gases through inhalation and exhalation

13
New cards

simple

in blank animals, exchange of gases directly occurs with the environment

14
New cards

respiratory system

blank exchanges oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the air and the cells of the body.

15
New cards

stomata

Plant leaf consists of BLANK that allow gas

exchange between the surrounding air and the photosynthetic

cells inside the leaf

16
New cards

stomata

These blank regulate CO2 uptake for

photosynthesis and are the major avenues for the evaporative loss

of water.

17
New cards

stomata

pores for gas exchange; flanked by guard cells regulating opening/closing.

18
New cards

lenticels

The hard stem of big plants and trees has blank in them. BLANK are in the small area of a bark. These cells are loosely

placed, allowing gaseous exchange of respiratory gases between

air and living cells of the woody stem

19
New cards

mesophyll

layer between upper and lower epidermis; specialized for photosynthesis.

20
New cards

palisade mesophyll

elongated cells on upper leaf; main site of photosynthesis

21
New cards

spongy mesophyll

loosely arranged cells with air spaces; allows O₂ and CO₂ circulation.

22
New cards

root hairs

extensions of epidermal cells; increase surface area for diffusion.

23
New cards

open circulatory system

no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid (hemolymph).

24
New cards

Closed circulatory system

– blood confined to vessels; separate from interstitial fluid.

25
New cards

division of closed system

Blood division:

Lymphatic division:

26
New cards

blood division

blank division, is a main closed circuit

27
New cards

lymphatic division

blank division, returns tissued fluid to blood

28
New cards

heart, blood vessels, blood

components of circulatory system

29
New cards

human heart

about a fist, located between lungs, tilted slightly left.

30
New cards

atrium and ventricle

chambers of heart

31
New cards

atrium

blank is top chamber

32
New cards

ventricle

blank is bottom chambers

33
New cards

valves

prevent backflow; act as one-way doors

34
New cards

hemolymph

general body fluid is known as

35
New cards

tricuspid (right), bicuspid (left), pulmonary, and aortic

valves

there are four blood valves

36
New cards

Tricuspid (right), bicuspid (left)

these valves are open during atrial contraction

37
New cards

Pulmonary, aortic

these valver are open during ventricular contraction

38
New cards

heartbeat

caused by muscle contraction and valve closure sound

39
New cards

heartbeat

The blank sound is caused by

the contraction of the muscles and the slamming shut of the

valves.

40
New cards

curculatory, vessels

The blank system is a closed system, and blood moves

through the body in tubes called blank

41
New cards

arteries, veins,


and capillaries

There are three kinds of

blood vessels that make up the circulatory system:

42
New cards

arteries

thick, muscular, elastic walls; carry blood away from heart; oxygen-rich (bright red).

43
New cards

aorta

what is the largest artery

44
New cards

veins

thinner walls; carry blood toward heart; oxygen-poor (blue).

45
New cards

capillaries

tiny, one-cell thick walls; connect arteries to veins; RBCs pass single file.

46
New cards

pulmonary and systemic

two separate system of circulatory system

47
New cards

pulmonary

this system pumps blood to lungs for O2

48
New cards

systemic

this system pumps O₂-rich blood to body

49
New cards

blood

Fluid carrying essential materials: nutrients, O₂, and wastes

50
New cards

blood

fluid that carries most of the

materials necessary for life.

51
New cards

plasma, red blood cells, white


blood cells, and platelets

There are two different parts of the

blood: the nonliving liquid part called blank (yellowish fluid, 55%

of the blood) and the three kinds of cells ( – 45% of the blood).

52
New cards

plasma 55%

it is a non living, yellowish blank% of the blood

53
New cards

45%

how many cells are in the blood

54
New cards

red blood, white blood, platelets

blank cells : deliver O₂, remove CO2

Blank cells: defend against infection

blank: small fragments; form clots to stop bleeding

55
New cards

red blood, white blood and platelets

erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes are

56
New cards

bone marrow

The blank contains stem cells that

develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

57
New cards

95%, 2.5%, 2.5%

The urine consists of the following:

% water, % urea, and _% other

waste products.

58
New cards

excretory system

this system Removes waste from blood.

59
New cards

kidney

filter blood; useful substances reabsorbed; wastes removed as urine.

60
New cards

xylem

transports water & minerals from roots → leaves

61
New cards

phloem

transports sugars (food) from leaves → rest of plant

62
New cards

transpiration

Evaporation of water from stomata of leaves

Generates suction pull, pulling water to great heights

Cools the plant

Not all absorbed water is used; excess lost via transpiration
