Plants take in oxygen for respiration through the stomata holes on their leaves.

The cell membranes on root hair cells are very thin so that water can go through them easily.

These reactions release energy from food.

When living things use oxygen to release energy from food, it’s called respiration.

It lets in substances that are useful to the cell.

These cells are very long.

There’s only very little oxygen in water at the bottom of the ocean. Microbes that live here can get energy from their food without oxygen.

They grow from the root into the soil.

Root hair cells collect most of the water that the plant needs and uses.

People and other animals take in oxygen by breathing it in through their mouth or nose.

The cell membrane works like the doors that only let people in to a sports match if they have a ticket!

Mitochondria are tiny parts inside the cytoplasm of all cells, and they take energy from food.

Inside the mitochondria, chemical reactions happen between oxygen and sugar.

Plants, animals, and microbes need energy to stay alive. The cells of all living things take this energy from food.

During respiration, cells make waste carbon dioxide.

The cell membrane has little holes that let in substances that are useful to the cell.

It lets oxygen and sugar come into the cell for respiration.

This is when a substance moves from where there’s more of that substance to another place where there’s less of it.

When animals move very fast, like when people run in a race or play a fast game of soccer, their muscle cells use a lot of energy.

Most substances move into a cell by diffusion.

All chemical reactions make waste.

When there’s more waste carbon dioxide inside a cell than outside it, the carbon dioxide moves out of the cell.

The cell membrane lets carbon dioxide and other waste leave the cell.

Then it goes into the lungs and animals breathe it out.

The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of every cell.

These cells need more energy from food so that they can keep working.

Cells that use a lot of energy, like the cells in muscle tissue and nerve tissue, have a lot of mitochondria.

Plant roots have a type of cell called a root hair cell.

When there’s more oxygen in an animal’s blood than in its other cells, the oxygen moves from the blood into other cells.

Plant and animal cells use oxygen from the air for respiration.

So animals start to breathe faster to take in more oxygen for respiration.
