  • What structures on the underside of leaves facilitate gas exchange in plants?
    Stomata.
  • To generate energy, living organisms need to carry out what?
    respiration
  • Blood vessels in human body
    arteries, veins, capillaries
  • Sam is studying plant biology and asks which gases are exchanged through the stomata of plant leaves. Which two gases are involved in this exchange?
    Oxygen and carbon dioxide
  • Complete the main steps in the process of body circulation.
    vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle,
  • How do plants acquire the carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis?
    From the air via stomata.
  • myocardial ischemia, or simply heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart.
    Coronary artery disease
  • two blood circulation?
    pulmonary and systemic circulation
  • Lisa wants to protect her family during flu season and is seeking effective ways to prevent respiratory infections. What is one of the most effective strategies she can adopt?
    Vaccination
  • This is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
    Hemoglobin
  • These cells transport oxygen, providing energy for bodily functions.
    RBC
  • Mark has a sore throat and has difficulty speaking. Which part of the respiratory system is responsible for voice production?
    Larynx
  • reduces blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body. It can lead to a heart attack, chest pain or a stroke.
    Atherosclerosis
  • What process allows oxygen to pass from the alveoli into the blood?
    Diffusion.
  • Which gas moves from the blood into the alveoli?
    Carbon dioxide.
  • Lisa is learning about plant processes and asks which specific process in plants is associated with the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. What is this process?
    Photosynthesis
  • Sarah has been feeling fatigued and short of breath lately. Her doctor advises her to make some lifestyle changes to improve her lung health. Which activity should Sarah prioritize to lower her risk of respiratory illness?
    Getting regular physical exercise
  • Where does gas exchange mainly occur in plants?
    Leaves.
  • A part of the human respiratory system is responsible for producing the voice
    Larynx.
  • Without enough of them, oxygen doesn't get to the body's organs. Without enough oxygen, the organs can't work normally.
    Hemoglobin
  • Why are alveoli known as the sites of respiration?
    gas exchange occurs between air and blood.
  • After running a marathon, Sarah feels extremely out of breath. Her doctor explains that this is because of the tiny structures in the lungs where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it. What are these tiny structures called?
    Alveoli
  • These cells defend against infections, playing a crucial role in immunity.
    WBC
  • Which gases are exchanged through the stomata of plant leaves?
    Oxygen and carbon dioxide.
  • a constellation of changes in the left ventricle, left atrium, and coronary arteries as a result of chronic blood pressure elevation.
    Hypertensive heart disease
  • 4 chambers of heart
    left/right atrium & left/right ventricle
  • Tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs.
    Alveoli
  • An example of Foods low in cholesterol
    Fruits and vegetables (e.g., apples, oranges, leafy greens) Whole grains (e.g., oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa) Legumes (e.g., beans, lentils, peas) Lean proteins
  • Where does gas exchange take place in the human lungs?
    Alveoli.
  • During a medical checkup, Peter learns that one particular gas is expelled from the blood and released through the lungs during exhalation. What gas is this?
    Carbon dioxide
  • Ella's doctor told her to eat less cholesterol-rich food. They explained that too much cholesterol can cause plaque to build up in the arteries. How does this affect blood flow?
    Excess cholesterol causes plaque buildup in the arteries, which narrows them and restricts blood flow.
  • What term describes the pressure exerted by a specific gas within a mixture of gases?
    Partial pressure.
  • What structure connects the larynx to the bronchi?
    Trachea.
  • What is the primary function of the bronchi in the respiratory system?
    To carry air to the lungs.
  • A molecule is primarily used by cells to store energy produced during respiration?
    ATP.
  • John is working on improving his overall health and wants to reduce his chances of getting respiratory illnesses. What lifestyle change would be most effective in helping him prevent respiratory issues?
    Incorporating regular exercise into his routine
